 Corse O'Neil Scottish Castle Aberdeenshire east Interior spring ruin bare sunny is located off B9119 Tarland road-take O’Neil Corse turnoff for a few hundred yards and is best viewed from road as very overgrown with stinging nettles and is not in good structural condition for exploring. Photograph shows E wall from the NW but basic structure is a shell with SE tower beyond overlooking a pond on the bottom right with the access road to the left. Still in Forbes family, probably built around late 1580’s by Patrick Forbes, Bishop of Aberdeen from 1564-1663. Fairly traditional Z-Plan tower-house of the area and in a state unlikely to be restored.
