Fyvie Castle is located in the village of Fyvie in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Tradition holds that the castle was founded in the early 13th century during the reign of William the Lion, and it later served as a royal stronghold visited by Robert the Bruce. In 1390, the castle became connected to events surrounding the Battle of Otterburn and over the centuries passed through five successive families, each adding their own tower or architectural changes. The Preston Tower dates from the late 14th to early 15th century, the Meldrum Tower from the late 1400s, the Seton Tower and grand entrance from 1599, the Gordon Tower from 1778, and the Leith addition from the 1890s. Alexander Leith and his wife restored the interiors and furnished the castle lavishly, adding to its grand drawing room, gallery of tapestries, ornate plasterwork, portraits, and impressive entrance hall fireplace. The castle was given to the National Trust for Scotland in 1984. Its landscaped grounds include gardens, a walled garden, and walks along Fyvie Loch. Like many historic Scottish castles, Fyvie Castle is also known for its ghost stories and paranormal legends. Today, Fyvie Castle is open to the public.

Late Fyvie strike rescues point for United

Fit-again club captain Fraser Fyvie salvaged a point for Dundee United with a 93rd-minute strike against Morton.

The former Hibernian midfielder made his first Championship outing since a December knee injury, coming off the bench to rifle in the leveller.

Michael Tidser have given Morton an early lead from the penalty spot after Rachid Bouhenna fouled Gregor Buchanan.

The Terrors pressed hard to equalise, but it took Fyvie’s injury-time intervention to secure a draw.

Both teams sit on eight points after five league matches, occupying fifth and sixth place respectively.

Dundee United manager Csaba Laszlo: “If you have this kind of game when the opponent goes in front very quickly and in the end you make it 1-1, you are not satisfied, because we were in the attacking shape for 80-90 minutes.

“Our goalkeeper didn’t really have anything to do. But it is difficult if the opponent is just defending, maintaining 11 people deep. We deserved more than one point and I can’t give a negative comment about the team because everybody tried their best.”

Morton manager Jonatan Johansson: “When it settles down we can take a lot of positives. We started really well, nice organisation, got the goal.

“We had two or three chances on the counter and a second goal would have killed the game. But all in all, I’m pleased.”

Fyvie Castle

Fyvie Castle is located in the village of Fyvie in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Fyvie Castle is believed to have been built in 1211 by William the Lion, it was known as an open-air royal court held by Robert the Bruce. In 1390, the baronial castle was used to pay a ransom after the Battle of Otterburn, and was later taken possession by five successive families who added a new tower to the castle. The Preston tower is from 1390-1433, the Meldrum tower from the late 1400’s, the Seton main entrance tower was built in 1599, the Gordon tower in 1778, and the Leith tower in 1890, which is really an added wing. Leith and his wife restored the interiors and furnished the castle in grand style. The castle boasts an enormous drawing room, which opens into the gallery that holds a series of rich tapestries and a pipe organ, while the staterooms have elaborate plasterwork and paintings, and the entry hall holds a fireplace. The Leith descendants sold the castle to the National Trust for Scotland in 1984. The castle grounds were landscaped in the 19th century, which includes a variety of gardens growing a wide range of Scottish fruits, and includes a walled garden, and a lochside walk. Like many old castles, Fyvie castle is believed to be haunted and has appeared on many television shows. Fyvie Castle is open to the public.
