Old Slains Castle, 15th century. 'Crowning a steep peninsulated rock' (Groome), represented by stark fragment, c.8ft thick, of south-east angle of a vaulted tower of the Hays, which was blown up on the orders of James VI in 1594 in return for eighth Earl's support for the Earl of Huntly's rebellion that year.
