Brackley, a castle, now nearly demolished, in Glenmuick parish, Aberdeenshire, about 1 mile S of Ballater. It belonged to a branch of the Gordon family, and on 7 Sept. 1666, was the scene of a tragedy recorded in the old ballad of ` The Baron of Braiklay; ' which tells how John Gordon of Brackley was slain by Farquharson of Inverey.
