Cluny Castle was originally built c.1604 as a Z-plan castle replacing either a house or small peel tower. Sited in the parish of Cluny it is south of Monymusk and north of Sauchen in Aberdeenshire north-east Scotland. Owned by three separate branches of Gordon families over the centuries it was used to shelter Jacobite rebels in the mid 18th century. Extensive additions were made in 1820 to the design of architect John Smith when it was in the ownership of Colonel John Gordon.
