039 | "The now antiquated but hospitable mansion house of Balgavies is only the comparatively modern representative of its ancient castle of which a solitary arch remains to indicate the spot where once its embattled turrets frowned defiance on the approaching raiders." New Statistical Account. The remains of the Castle stand in a small plantation to the north-west of Balgavies. What remains is the foundation wall nearly level with the surface below or level with which there are two arches remaining of the vaulted apartments or cellars below the building. - The Castle is well known & particularly mentioned in History in the time of Sir. W. Lindsay of Balgavies. As mentioned in Tytler's History it was destroyed by order of James VI in the course of his expedition to the north against the Catholic Nobles in the year 1593. In olden times it was called "Bagays". Vide The Lives of the Lindsays by Lord Lindsay. |
