Details Site of a castle. Claverhouse Castle once was a place of considerable strength, having a moat and drawbridge, but its last remains were pulled down circa 1826 . It belonged to the Ogilvies in the 14th century, and the castle, mentioned in the 17th century, was later owned by Graham of Claverhouse. There are now no traces of this castle. The farmer states that stones from the castle are often turned up by the plough at the published site. Claverhouse Castle stood 200m southwest of Hatton of Ogilvie. There is a faint trace of a sub-rectangular enclosure on a vertical aerial photograph taken by the RAF in 1947.
