Baron of Bognie

Bognie Castle was most likely built in the 1660s by the Morisons of Bognie when they lived at Bognie House. However, there is no evidence of the Morisons ever inhabiting it. This is most likely due to the subsequent acquisition of Frendraught after the marriage of George Morison, 2nd Baron of Bognie, and Christian Urquhart, Viscountess Frendraught (the widow of James Crichton, 2nd Viscount Frendraught), around 1676. The Barony of Bognie has been held with the Barony of Mountblairy, associated with Mountblairy Estate in Aberdeenshire (former Banffshire), since the acquisition of the latter from Major-General Andrew Hay in 1812. == Barons of Bognie (1635) ==
