Brux Castle Explained

Brux Castle was a castle of the Forbeses, about east of Kildrummy, Aberdeenshire, Scotland,^[1] south of the river Don. The castle was also known as the Tower of Brux.^[2]

The derelict Mains of Brux is on the site.^[3]

History

A branch of the Forbes family owned the manor of Brux from 1409 through marriage to the heiress; it was raised to a barony in 1504–1505. The `manor house of Brux’ was referred to as a gentleman's seat in 1724.^[3]

Structure

There is little evidence of the structure, although some stonework on the Mains of Brux is probably from the castle.^[3]
