Melgund, an ruined castle in Aberlemno parish, Forfarshire, 37/8 miles N by E of Auldbar station. Built according to tradition by Cardinal Beaton, it appears to have been a strong and superb edifice of great extent, with a magnificent banqueting hall. It is still represented by large and interesting remains; and it gives to the Earl of Minto the title of Viscount (cre. 1813), the first Earl's father, Sir Gilbert Elliot, having married Agnes Murray Kynynmound, heiress of Melgund.—Ord. Sur., sh. 57, 1868.
