Duchray, an estate, with an old castle, in Drymen parish, Stirlingshire. The castle, on the right bank of Duchray Water, 3 miles WSW of Aberfoyle hamlet, and 10 NW of Bucklyvie station, was formerly a stronghold of those Grahams who in 1671 fought the Earl of Airth upon Aberfoyle bridge, and is now beautifully mantled with ivy. Its orchard contains some aged filbert trees, producing a peculiarly large and fine-flavoured nut.
