Delnabo

Delnabo Lodge is an eighteenth-century house with nineteenth-century additions in Scots Baronial style.

These additions included a square, three-storeyed tower over the main entrance, and mock battlements around the wallhead, giving the building the appearance of a medieval castle.

There may have been been a house on this site since the medieval period, originally held by members of the Grant family, from their feudal superiors, the Gordons. It remained in the hands of the Grants until November 1891, when it passed to Colonel John George Smith, who was then the proprietor of Glenlivet Distillery.
