Hi Sam,
That is what I thought but I can't find any connection to a castle of that name around Rhynie. Any further info?
Lesmore
googled it and it is listed under historical perspective for parish Rhynie
Look at jenhoff at 11.o6 for explanation, sorry don't do links.

Rhynie and Essie, a parish, in the district of Alford, county of Aberdeen, 3½ miles (W. by N.) from Clatt; containing 1035 inhabitants, of whom 240 are in the village of Rhynie, or Muir of Rhynie. This place occupies the south-western portion of the ancient lordship of Strathbogie, granted by King Robert Bruce to the family of the Gordons, of whom Sir James Gordon took the title of baronet from the lands of Lesmore, in this parish, and of whose residence, LESMORE CASTLE, there are still some remains.
