Gordon Castle is a historic country house and former ducal seat near Fochabers in the parish of Bellie in Moray, Scotland. Originally built in the 1470s by George Gordon, 2nd Earl of Huntly, as a fortified tower known as the Bog o’ Gight, it evolved over the centuries into one of the largest and most distinguished houses in Scotland. Rebuilt on a monumental Neoclassical scale in the late 18th century by Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon, the castle served as the principal residence of the Dukes of Gordon and later of the Gordon-Lennox family, Dukes of Richmond and Gordon.
