(NO 2418 2460) Megginch Castle (GT)
OS 6" map (1959)
Megginch Castle underwent alterations at the begining of this century, which changed it from a sixteenth to a nineteenth century building, The north front, however, still presents externally some striking features of the sixteenth century mansion-house. Over one of the windows is the inscription "Petrus Hay, Aedificium Exstruxit An: 1575."
D MacGibbon and T Ross 1887
Megginch was known as 'Sanct-Martines' in the early 17th century.
