Bognie Castle, Tower house in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
The stone remains of Bognie Castle stand on the Bognie Estate between Huntly and Banff, featuring deteriorated four-story walls and architectural elements.
The Morisons of Bognie received baronial rights in 1635 and constructed this fortified residence during the 1660s before relocating to Frendraught in 1676.
The structure represents the Scottish architectural tradition of tower houses, demonstrating the defensive priorities of noble families in Aberdeenshire during the 17th century.
The castle ruins require careful navigation of rural roads in Aberdeenshire, with visitors needing to arrange access through local authorities due to its protected status.
Despite its construction as a noble residence, historical records indicate the Morison family never inhabited the castle, leading to its early abandonment.
