Airleywight

Pont 24 (Auchtergaven and Kinclaven, Perthshire)Timothy Pont, c. 1583-1596map image courtesy of NLS

In September 1606 William Rowane of Ballindane sold the fortalice and manor of Airlywycht to Robert Creychtoun of Cluny and his heirs.

I have placed the site of the castle at Airleywight House, built around 1810, pending further research.
