Leslie Castle is a castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, the historical seat of Clan Leslie, located just to the west of Auchleven, or about 45 kilometres (28 mi) northwest of Aberdeen. It was built on the site of a former castle (probably a wooden motte and bailey) around 1661 as "the last fortified house in Scotland". In the late 1970s restoration of the castle was begun and by the end of the 1980s this was completed. In 1995, a Leslie Clan Gathering was held at Leslie Castle. The next Leslie Clan gathering in Scotland will be in 2020.
