Hempriggs Castle
Hempriggs Castle was a 15th-century castle, about 5.0 miles (8 km) north-east of Forres, Moray, Scotland, and about 3.5 miles (6 km) south of Burghead.[1] The castle belonged to the Dunbars, who also owned property in Caithness.[1] It is thought that the castle was built during the reign of James II of Scotland. It was demolished around 1830, the stones being used in constructing the farmsteading.[2] No trace of the castle remains.[2]
