Parbroath Castle

Parbroath Castle is a ruined castle which was the former seat of Clan Seton near Parbroath farm, Creich, Fife, Scotland. Only a portion of a vault standing in a field still exists.[1] The building was designated a Category C listed building in 1984.[2]

Etymology

The name Parbroath was first recorded in 1315 as Partebrothoc, and may be of Pictish origin.[3] The first part is *part-, the Pictish equivalent of Welsh parth meaning "side, area, region" (< Latin pars).[3] The second is *Brothoc, a former name for the nearby Fernie Burn, derived from a cognate of Welsh brwd, with the diminutive suffix -awc.[3]
