Gight Castle
Gight Castle, which is also known as Formantine Castle, was an L-plan Tower House built in the sixteenth century. It was owned by the Gordons of Gight for two centuries before gambling debts forced its sale to the Earl of Aberdeen. Following a tragic riding accident that killed the Earl’s son, the castle was abandoned and never reoccupied.
