What is recorded here

Boyne Castle is a ruined late 16th century stronghold in Aberdeenshire, built around 1575 by Sir George Ogilvie of Dunlugas after he purchased the estate. Its courtyard is ringed by four round towers and protected on three sides by the deep ravine of the Boyne Water, while a dry moat and probable drawbridge guarded the southern entrance. The west walls still stand, but the eastern and southern ranges have largely vanished, leaving only a skeleton of rubble and memory where the Ogilvies once lived.
