What is recorded here

Blairfindy Castle is a derelict 16th-century tower house in Moray, Scotland, completed in 1586 for John Gordon as a hunting seat for the earls of Huntly. The L-shaped ruin features a corbelled angle turret and an arched entrance protected by a shot hole, overlooking the site of the 1594 Battle of Glenlivet. After housing a prisoner Earl of Huntly in 1647 and suffering a Jacobite tenant's burning in 1746, the structure was stabilised in 2019 to allow public entry into its quiet, dangerous remains.
