Kindrochit Castle is an early fortification in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1] It was founded by Malcolm Canmore in 1059 AD as a hunting lodge on the banks of the Clunie.[2] Various authors have puzzled as to the reasons for siting the castle in this wild and remote location.[1] C. Michael Hogan has noted Kindrochit Castle, as well as Kildrummy and Durris Castles, were likely sited based upon strategic positions relative to the ancient Elsick Mounth trackway, which provided a strategic crossing of the Mounth of the Grampian Mountains.[3]
