KINTORE

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 825 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KINTORE , a royal and police
burgh
  of Aberdeenshire, Scot-land. Pop. (Igor), 789. It is situated on the Don, 134 M. N.W. of Aberdeen by the
Great
  North of Scotland railway. It is a place of some antiquity, having been made a royal
burgh
  in the reign of William the Lion (d. 1214). Kintore forms one of the
Elgin
  group of parliamentary burghs, the others being Banff, Cullen,
Elgin
 , Inverurie and Peterhead. One mile to the south-west are the ruins of Hallforest Castle, of which two storeys still exist, once a hunting-seat of Robert Bruce and afterwards a residence of the Keiths, earls marischal. There are several examples of sculptured stones and circles in the parish, and 2 M. to the north-west is the site of Bruce's camp, which is also ascribed to the period of the Romans. Near it is Thainston
House
 , the residence of Sir Andrew
Mitchell
  (17081771), the British
envoy
  to Frederick the
Great
 . Kintore gives the title of
earl
  in the Scottish, and of baron in the British peerage to the head of the Keith-Falconer family.
