The Castle of Rattray was a medieval Scottish castle, with multiple variations on its structure over approximately six centuries. Originally built as a "late 12th- or early 13th century defensive motte" it provided protection for Starny Keppie Harbour and Rattray village. Sometime between 1214 and 1233 it was upgraded by William Comyn, jure uxoris Earl of Buchan before being destroyed in the 1308 Harrying of Buchan. After Comyn's timber castle was burned down, it was replaced by a stronger stone castle which was engulfed during a 1720 sand storm along with nearby Rattray village. After the storm, the castle was not dug out and remains covered to this day. The castle was described by W. Douglas Simpson as one of the nine castles of the Knuckle, referring to the rocky headland of north-east

  • Castle of Rattray ist eine abgegangene mittelalterliche Burg in der Nähe des ehemaligen Dorfes Rattray im Nordosten der schottischen Grafschaft Aberdeenshire. Über ungefähr sechs Jahrhunderte wurde die Burg immer wieder grundlegend verändert. Ursprünglich entstand Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts oder Anfang des 13. Jahrhunderts an dieser Stelle eine Motte zur Verteidigung des Hafens von Starvy Keppie und des Dorfes Rattray. Zwischen 1214 und 1233 ließ William Comyn, Earl of Buchan, sie ausbauen, bevor sie 1308 beim zerstört wurde. Nachdem Comyns Holzburg niedergebrannt worden war, wurde sie durch eine stärkere Steinburg ersetzt. Diese fiel 1720 zusammen mit dem Dorf Rattray einem Sandsturm zum Opfer. Nach dem Sturm wurde die Burg nicht wieder ausgegraben und ihre Überreste sind bis heute von Sand bedeckt. W. Douglas Simpson beschreibt die Burg als eines der neun Castles of the Knuckle, eine Bezeichnung, die sich auf die felsige Landzunge im Nordosten der Grafschaft Aberdeenshire bezieht. (de)
