HUNTLY, burgh of barony and parish, Aberdeenshire, Scot land. Pop. (1931) 3,778. It lies at the confluence of the rivers Deveron and Bogie, 41 m. N.W. of Aberdeen on the London & North Eastern Railway. It is a market town, a holiday and fishing resort, and the centre of a large agricultural district, its industries including weaving of woollen cloth and hosiery and a distillery. Huntly castle, half a mile north, now in ruins, was once a fortalice of the Comyns. From them it passed in the 14th century to the Gordons, by whom it was rebuilt. It was blown up in 1594, but was restored in 1602, subsequently it gradually fell into disrepair. The Standing Stones of Strathbogie in Market Square have offered a permanent puzzle to antiquaries.
