Kelly Castle, a grey old tower in Arbirlot parish, Forfarshire, on a high rock above the right bank of Elliot Water, 3 miles WSW of Arbroath. Held by the Auchterlonies from 1444 till 1630, it came in 1679 to the Earl of Panmure, an ancestor of the Dalhousie family. Now uninhabited, yet scarcely ruinous, it presents a picturesque aspect. Near it stands modern Kelly Castle.—Ord. Sur., sh. 49, 1865.
