NJ 9349 3704 Arnage Castle dates from the late 16th century when Thomas Leper built a Z-plan tower house some 7km N of Ellon. The castle was remodelled in the late 17th or early 18th century and extended further when a large wing was added in 1860. The survey, undertaken in December 2008, provided drawings and photographs of architectural features in the castle’s external faces prior to their being reharled, the original harling having been removed and the stonework re-pointed in the 1960s.
