Towie Barclay Castle is a historic castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, 4.5 miles south-south-east of Turriff. The current structure was built in 1593 by Clan Barclay. The site was given to the Clan in the 11th century by Malcolm III of Scotland. Following Clan Barclay's pillage of a nunnery in the 12th century, Thomas the Rhymer proclaimed: "Towie Barclay of the Glen/Happy to the maids/But never to the men." which was interpreted as a curse on the male line. Belief in the curse was strong enough that it was given as a reason by Mr. Barclay Maitland for the sale of Towie Barclay Castle in 1753 to the Earl of Findlater, who, after "dreeing the weird," (the ''weird'', meaning the curse) and after his son also died, sold it to Gordon's Hospital in Aberdeen in 1792.

  • Towie Barclay Castle ist eine Niederungsburg etwa 7,2 km südsüdöstlich der Stadt Turriff in der schottischen Grafschaft Aberdeenshire. Das heutige Gebäude ließ der 1593 errichten. Das Gelände hatte der Clan im 11. Jahrhundert von König Malcolm III. erhalten. Nach der Plünderung eines Nonnenklosters durch die Barclays im 12. Jahrhundert verkündete Thomas the Rhymer: „Towie Barclay Castle im Tal / gut für die Frauen / aber niemals für die Männer“, was als Fluch für die männliche Linie verstanden wurde. Der Glaube an diesen Fluch war stark genug, dass er 1753 von Mr Barclay Maitland als Grund für den Verkauf von Towie Barclay Castle an den Earl of Findlater angegeben wurde. Dieser verkaufte die Burg 1792, nachdem er meinte, dass sie das Böse anzog und nachdem sein Sohn auch verstorben war, an das Gordon’s Hospital in Aberdeen. Das Gebäude wurde an die Leiter des Gordon's Hospital für £ 21.000 verkauft. Obwohl die Burg 1874 ein neues Dach bekam, verfiel sie bis zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts. (de)

The building was sold to the governors of Robert Gordon's hospital in Aberdeen for £21,000. Despite a reroofing project in 1874, Towie Barclay Castle had fallen into a state of neglect by the mid-20th century. (en)
