Hallforest, a ruined castle in Kintore parish, Aberdeenshire, 1½ mile WSW of Kintore town. Said to have been built as a hunting-seat by King Robert Bruce, and by him to have been granted to Sir Robert de Keith, great marischal of Scotland, it came to his descendants, the Earls of Kintore, and in 1562 received a visit from Queen Mary. It was chiefly a battlement tower four stories high, and now retains two very lofty arched apartments, one above the other.—Ord. Sur., sh. 76, 1874.
