Esslemont Castle located in Aberdeenshire west of Ellon, Esslemont was passed by marriage from the family of Mareschal to the Cheynes of Straloch in the 14th century.
The castle was then destroyed as the result of a feud between the Cheynes and the Hays. Later the hall was rebuilt but lost to the Earls of Errol during the reformation.
It was sold in 1728 to Robert Gordon who abandoned it in favor of a new structure in 1769.
Turning point / passing place 100m down the road. Would recommend as a quick cash n dash because of lack of parking. However it is more accessible if walking or biking.
Cache is NOT in the Castle itself. Passed from TheHaggisHunter to Bexen, who kindly allowed me to adopt it 😊.
NO PEN IN THIS CACHE, make sure you take your own!
