Aikenway, a high rocky peninsular tract in Rothes parish, Elginshire, at the foot of Beneagen Hill, and projecting into the Spey. It is fully a mile in length: rises steeply round three-fourths of its circuit from the Spey: was anciently surmounted by a castle, and otherwise fortified: and appears to have been a place of strong refuge and defence in times of danger from hostilities.
