Castle of Hallforest is a ruined castle located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The castle dates from the medieval period and represents a modest fortified residence typical of northeastern Scottish baronial architecture. The site comprises the remains of a stone-built structure, though its exact date of construction within the medieval period and the extent of its original architectural features require examination of the standing fabric.
