HistoryThe present castle replaces a previous castle on the site, in existence in 1296.[2] The castle originated as the Bishop’s palace of the Bishop of Brechin. Bishop Meldrum called it ‘Palatium Nostrum’ in 1512.[3] It was disposed of in about 1566, supposedly by Donald Campbell. It was turned into a secular castle by Catherine, Countess of Crawford.[3] Subsequently the Earl of Southesk purchased the castle.[3] It was an alms house in the 19th century.[1] StructureThe castle is a three-storey structure, built from rubble and slate.[1] The east section, which was the bishop’s residence, has crow-stepped gables. On the north are a projecting garderobe, with sanitary flues. On the east gable, at the level of the floors, there is a double row of corbels, and corbels which appear to have been for the purpose of supporting a roofed gallery. On the northern skewpots are small carved shields. One has the initial M, and a crown above; the other I.M., thought to stand for ‘Jesu Maria’[3] There is a circular stair tower in front.[2] It is a category A listed building.[1] There is ruined rectangular lean-to dovecot with rubble walls supported by later buttressing in the castle grounds.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-11501-farnell-castle-farnell |work=British Listed Buildings|title=Farnell Castle|accessdate=2013-08-30}} {{coord |56.6896|N|2.6150|W|display=title}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/35736/details/farnell+castle/|work=Canmore|title=Farnell Castle|accessdate=2013-09-04}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 Lindsay, Maurice (1986) The Castles of Scotland.
