Archaeology Notes

(NN 8737 2449) Monzie Castle (NAT)

OS 6" map (1959)

Monzie Castle is a small, L-shaped,early 17th century house to which a vast mansion in the pseudo-castellated style was added in the early 19th century. Although the modern work much overshadows the old, the original house still stands almost unaltered externally.

A doorway in the wing has the date 1634 above it with the arms of Campbell and Graham. A circular shot-hole protects the doorway. Garderobes in the thickness of the walling of the west wing may represent an earlier fortalice on the same site.

N Tranter 1963

As described above.

Visited by OS (RD) 17 November 1966.
