Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HUNTLY , a police
burgh
 ,
burgh
  of barony and parish of Aberdeenshire, Scotland,
capital
  of the
district
  of Strathbogie. Pop. (1901) 4136. It lies at the confluence of the rivers Deveron and
Bogie
 , 41 M. N.W. of Aberdeen on the
Great
  North of Scotland Railway. It is a market town and the centre of a large agricultural
district
 , its
chief
  industries including agricultural implement-making, hosiery weaving, weaving of woollen cloth, and the manufacture of lamps and boots. Huntly Castle, half a mile to the north, now in ruins, was once a fortalice of the Comyns. From them it passed in the 14th century to the Gordons, by whom it was rebuilt. It was blown up in 1594, but was restored in 1602. It gradually fell into disrepair, some of its stones being utilized in the building of Huntly
Lodge
 , the residence of the widow of the " last " duke of Gordon, who (in 1840) founded the adjoining Gordon schools to his memory. The
Standing
  Stones of Strathbogie in Market Square have offered a permanent puzzle to antiquaries.
