Inverugie Castle was a castle, in the parish of Duffus, about 5.5 miles (8.9 km) north-west of Elgin, Moray, Scotland, and 1.0 mile (1.6 km) south of Hopeman.[1]
History
The castle belonged to the Young family. A later house at the site was constructed by the Mortimer family. Around 1824 the stones of the castle of Inverugie were cleared at the time of the lease of the Clashach Quarries.[2]
Structure
No traces of the castle remain. The site was on a rocky promontory and was later damaged by trenches from the Second World War.[2]
