Ellon
Nestled on the banks of the river Ythan, Ellon is a thriving Market town in the heart of Aberdeenshire. Ellon was originally fording place across the Ythan river, but grew to became the Buchan seat of power in the Middle Ages when Ellon Castle (called Ardgith) was built by the Kennedy family. Robert the Bruce totally destroyed Ellon in 1308 as part of the "Harrying of Buchan" following the defeat of his enemy, the Earl of Buchan.
