What is recorded here

Aikenway Castle is a medieval ruin on a promontory above the River Spey in Moray, Scotland. Tradition attributes its occupation to a Leslie connected to Rothes, while the visible remains preserve only a crumbling circular stair tower and scattered wall footings. Landslip, cultivation and spreading bracken have erased much of the enclosed area, leaving the castle more like a half-remembered shadow than a complete fortress.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Aikenway Castle as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Aikenway Castle was built in the 13th or 14th century by an unidentified Scottish noble family. It is remembered as a medieval stronghold in a region with significant historical activity during the Wars of Scottish Independence.
