Lonhead. 013 Applies to an old castle situated about two miles from New Deer, which appears to have been a place of considerable strength, It was surrounded partly by a fosse. & partly by a morass. So that there could have been no access to it by a Causeway. It is now Crumbling to decay. I have ascertained recently that there is an old stone removed from the Castle some 40 years ago, now at Alehousehill bearing date 1257 which is thought to be the time it was built. The portion of the walls now remaining are about 30 feet in height and 6 feet in breadth. "The plan of the Castle had been an incomplete square of fifty four feet, with a space of thirty feet by sixteen wanting at the north-east corner. The south-west corner is razed to the foundations, eighteen feet of the south wall, and fifteen of the west, being entirely gone. The corners are not angular but rounded off. The walls are of great thickness, occupying half the area of the site, ** Although much has been demolished, a great portion of this building remains." Pratt's Buchan "Two miles North of the Village Stands the Old Castle of Fedderat, now a complete ruin, nearly all the best stones have been taken away by the farmers for building. It appears to have been once a place of Considerable strength. It now stands in the middle of a field. A morass, now drained Surrounded it, & the only access to it was by a causeway & a draw bridge. There is no tradition as to when it was built, but is said to have been one of last strongholds of James 2nd's partisans who after the battle of Killiecrankie possessed themselves of Fyvie Castle & being obliged to abandon it (over) [continued on page 38]

"It is not known by whom, or at what time the original portion of the Castle was built. It consisted of a round and rather high tower, forming a staircase with some small apartments opening onto it. There have been at least four additions made to the original building. The particulars of the first are unknown; the second was made by Mr. William Dingwall in 1765; the third by Mr John Dingwall in 1814; and the fourth by present proprietor. The earlier additions were made, chiefly with a view to increased accommodation; but the last with the same object, comprised the important design of converting [Initialled ] the whole building into the old Scottish Castellated Mansion, combining the grandeur of the middle ages with the elegance of the present.

OS1/1/65/99A [Page] 99A Cummineston 16th November 1870 Sir The following information may be added respecting the name "Old Maud Castle" (21-6. Trace 1) Immediately east of the farm Steading of "Place Croft" (21-6.Trace 1.) the remains of an apparently artificial mound or plateau is seen, The formation of the Buchan Railway having destroyed the main portion; while constructing this railway, the foundation of a building was discovered situated about centre of the aforesaid mound, and, to which, according to tradition, was formerly the Manor Place, House or Castle of Old Maud. The fact of this farm being called Place Croft would tend to point to its having been a Manor Place. No mention is made of this name ("Old Maud Castle") in Pratt's History of "Buchan." nor in other works as far as can be learned. The term "Old Maud Castle" is not in general use in the locality. Although used by a few. As portion of the mound remaining, and features surrounding, are over. [Continued over on Page 99B]
OS1/1/65/99B [Page] 99B [Continued from Page 99A] Somewhat prominent & remarkable, and of an antiquated appearance, Perhaps 'Castle' (Site of) without the prefix Oldmaud'. would be the better term, it being situated in the Den of Oldmaud and the name Mains of Oldmaud occuring a four Chains west. Tradition hath it that the Earls Marischal at one period resided here. No dates can be obtained. D Oswald C/A [Civilian Assistant] Captain Melville R.E. [Royal Engineers]
