023.01 | "Inverugie Castle - This continued to be the residence of the succeeding proprietors until the Attainder of Lord Marischal, who unfortunately engaged in the rebellion of 1715. The precise time when this castle was built is not known; but as one part of it, now in ruins, was called Cheyne's Tower, it is probable that it was built by that family".

Applies to the east front of the castle of Inverugie facing the public road - in height about 80 feet above the ground |
