Inverugie Castle was a castle, about 5.5 miles (8.9 km) north-west of Elgin, Moray, Scotland, and 1.0 mile (1.6 km) south of Hopeman.[1]
History[edit]
The castle belonged to the Young family. A later house at the site was constructed by the Mortimer family. Around 1824 the stones of the castle of Inverugie were cleared at the time of the lease of the Clashach Quarries.[2]
Structure[edit]
No traces of the castle remain. The site was a rocky promontory.[2]
