Halgreen, a large castellated pile in Bervie parish, Kincardineshire, on an eminence near the sea, at the southern extremity of Bervie burgh. Founded in 1376, and enlarged at subsequent periods, it bears above a doorway in its court the date 1687. It seems to have been defended by a moat, with drawbridge and portcullis; has very thick walls, pierced with numerous arrow slits; and still is well preserved, being the seat of James Farquhar, Esq. (b. 1836; suc. 1875), who holds 1464 acres in the shire, valued at £2389 per annum.—Ord. Sur., sh. 67, 1871.
