Doune, an oval, flat-topped mound in Strathdon parish, W Aberdeenshire, at the W side of the Water of Nochty, just above its influx to the Don. Mainly (it would seem) of drift or diluvial formation, artificially altered and fortified, it was surrounded by a moat 26 feet wide and 16 deep, and measures 970 feet in circumference at the base, 60 in vertical height, and 562 in circumference at the top, which, about half an acre in area, shows foundations of buildings. According to vague tradition, it was the site of Invernochty church.
