What is recorded here

Ethie Castle is a 14th-century castle in Angus, Scotland, built around 1300 by monks at Arbroath Abbey. It later belonged to David Beaton, whose name still appears in its chapel and sitting room, and it is said to haunt the halls with a Grey Lady and Beaton himself. The castle passed through several families before becoming the seat of the Forsyth Clan, where it remains today.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ethie Castle as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Ethie Castle was built in the 13th century by the Keith family, a prominent Scottish noble lineage. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold in northeast Scotland and as the family seat that later became the seat of the Earls of Kintore.
