Ackergill

In the far north east of Scotland
stands the much altered tower of Ackergill, close to the sea
shore one mile west of the infamous Sinclair stronghold of
Girnigoe castle. The earliest part of Ackergill dates back
to the 1400's when an oblong tower house was raised by the
Keith family. Anciently the lands of Ackergill were held by
the Cheyne family who also held the lands of Inverugie to
the south in Aberdeenshire.
