Clackriach Castle

Clackriach Castle was a 16th-century tower house, about 11 mi north of Ellon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and 1 mi south east of Maud, south of the South Ugie Water.

History
The property belonged to the Keiths.

Structure
Only the north east angle Clackriach Castle remains, about 7.0 m high. The north wall, which includes part of a window, is about 2.7 m long. In the inside angle are remains of a staircase. The walls are roughcoursed with rubble infilling, lime mortared.

The castle was on a slight eminence. It was an oblong building with a projecting wing; there was a turretted staircase, and arched doorway and window, evidence of which remained up to the 19th century.
