Darnaway Castle, seat of the Earl of Moray, 3½ miles SW. of Forres, Elginshire; P.O., called Darnaway; is a large castellated pile, built about 1810, and is connected with a curious old arched hall, supposed to be a portion of the hunting-lodge of Thomas Randolph, first Earl of Moray. Darnaway Forest lies to the S. of the castle, along the banks of the Findhorn.
