Dumbreck Castle
Dumbreck Castle was a tower house, dating from the 16th century, around 3.5 miles (5.6 km) west of Ellon, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1]
Alternative names were Drumbeck Castle and Mains Of Dumbreck.[2]
History
The property was owned by the Dumbreck family. It passed to the Meldrum family who built the castle.[2]
Structure
None of the property remains. Architectural fragments have been built into farm buildings. The left hand part of a gun loop is built into the east-north-east gable of the farmhouse, while a carved fragment of stone is built into the north wall of the farm outbuilding to its east.[3]
For stylistic reasons it has been suggested that this was the work of Thomas Leper.[2]
