Eden, an estate, with a mansion, in King-Edward parish, Aberdeenshire. The mansion, standing on the right bank of the Deveron, 4 miles SSE of Banff, and 2½ NW by N of King-Edward station, is a modern edifice, with beautiful grounds, and commands an extensive view of the Deveron's valley. It was the birthplace in 1829 of the Right Hon. Mountstuart Elphinstone Grant Duff, who represented the Elgin burghs from 1857 to 1881, when he became Governor of Madras. An old castle, ¾ mile S of Eden House, was once a place of considerable strength, but now is a shaleless ruin.
