TOLQUHON CASTLE
This
castle, now a ruin, was started in the 15th century
when the Preston Tower was built. In 1420, the Tower
was passed to the Forbes family and after this date,
William Forbes, the seventh laird, built a large quadrangular
mansion.
His
stately tomb at the parish church of Tarves is known
as the Tolquhon Aisle and is situated in the church
yard.
