Ethie Castle, the seat of the Earl of Northesk, in Inverkeilor parish, Forfarshire, 5 furlongs from the coast, and 5 miles NNE of Arbroath. Built and inhabited by Cardinal Beaton, it was, with neighbouring lands, conferred by his father, in 1596, on Sir John Carnegie, who in 1639 was created Lord Lour, and in 1647 Earl of Ethie-a title which he exchanged in 1662 for that of Earl of Northesk. William, seventh Earl, G. C. B. (1756-183l), was third in command at Trafalgar. His-grandson, George John Carnegie, present and ninth earl (b. 1843; suc. 1878), holds 4844 acres in the shire, valued at £7762 per annum.—Ord. Sur., sh. 57, 1868.
