The ruins of John Farquharson's old castle are still visible a short distance to the north of the road through Inverey, and the old burial-ground a short distance to the north-west of it.
In 1798, Inverey was added to Mar Estate by James Duff, 2nd Earl Fife.
During the Jacobite rising of John Graham of Claverhouse following the arrival, in November 1688, of William and Mary in Britain - John Farquharson was commissioned as colonel by John Graham. Due to his swarthy complexion, John Farquharson is usually referred to as the Black Colonel. The Black Colonel participated in this rising, and after preventing a Government force of 100 men from occupying Braemar Castle he burnt it preventing its use by Government troops.
