Abergeldie Castle (8)
Alexander Gordon, 7th of Abergeldie (d 1655), fought against the Covenanters, and in 1644, the castle narrowly avoided being burned in retribution.  His grandson, John Gordon, 9th of Abergeldie, died without children in 1698, whereupon his sister Catherine inherited the castle and estate.  She married Capt. Charles Gordon 'in Pitchaise'.  The Gordons were ever good at avoiding property being lost outside the family by marriage!
