Duffus Castle, near Elgin, Moray, Scotland, was a motte-and-bailey castle and was in use from c. 1140 to 1705. During its occupation it underwent many alterations. The most fundamental was the destruction of the original wooden structure and its replacement with one of stone. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland. At the death of the 2nd Lord Duffus in 1705, the castle had become totally unsuitable as a dwelling and so was abandoned.

  • Duffus Castle ist eine Burgruine bei Elgin in der schottischen Verwaltungseinheit Moray. Die ursprünglich hölzerne Motte wurde von ca. 1140 bis 1705 genutzt. In dieser Zeit unterlag die Burg vielen Veränderungen, deren tiefgreifendste der Abriss der hölzernen Burg und ihre Ersetzung durch eine Steinburg war. Zur Zeit ihrer Erstellung war sie eine der sichersten Festungen Schottlands. Nach dem Tod des 2. Lord Duffus 1705 war die Burg als Wohnstatt unzumutbar und wurde daher aufgegeben. (de)
