Blaeu Atlas of Scotland 1662

Blaeu Atlas of Scotland

Extract from the Blaeu Atlas of Scotland, showing Ellon, Aberdeenshire, and the surrounding countryside, which includes the Barony of Ardgrain (Ardgroin) to the north of Ellon, above the Ythan river. Illustrated in 1662, Ardgrain is included in the Blaeu Atlas as one of only three Ellon houses worthy of mention:

"...on the other bank is the parochial village of Ellon, close to which are Abbotshall, Ardgrain, and Auchterellon, castles or houses of the Forbeses, the Kennedies and the Udnies respectively..."

The full Blaeu Atlas can be viewed online through the National Library of Scotland archives.
