Newton Castle


Strathardle; Glenshee and GlenerichtTimothy Pont, c. 1583 – 1596map image courtesy of NLS

Newton Castle is marked on Pont’s late-16th century map as Newton of Blair.

Legend has it that Newton Castle is connected to Ardblair Castle by a tunnel, however this seems unlikely given the distance of over a kilometre.
