095 | The site of an ancient Castle, a former residence of the Inchbrackie family, there are no remains, but the site can be distinctly traced, the date of its erection is unknown. "Patrick Graeme of Inchbrakie, Colonel of the Posse Comitatus of Perthshire, and cousin-german to the celebrated James, Marquis of Montrose, was distinguished by the part which he took in that nobleman's fortunes. He held a conspicuous place during all his wars, and appears to have enjoyed a very considerable share of his master's confidence. He is said to have defeated the Duke of Argyle near Dunnoter, and taken possession of Aberdeen. and in return, Cromwell burnt down his house of Inchbrakie, which, in those days, was a stronghold surrounded by a moat, and defended at the entrance by a drawbridge. There are still some traces of this ancient fortification" New Statistical Account |
