Tillyhilt Castle

Tillyhilt Castle was a 16th-century tower house west of Ellon, northwest of Tarves, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

History

The castle was owned by the Gordons. John Gordon acquired the land in 1575, and it is thought that the castle was built sometime after this date. The site is classified by Canmore as a medieval castle.

Structure

Only of the west wall, to a maximum height of, remains, along with a turf-covered mound of rubble about wide and about high immediately to its east. Earlier evidence suggests the presence of two towers, and the building is thought not to have been more than long.
