Halkerton or Haulkerton, an estate in Laurencekirk parish, Kincardineshire, 1 mile N by W of the village. Held by the Falconers from the beginning of the 13th century, it gave them their baronial designation from 1647; and in 1778 the eighth Lord Falconer succeeded as fifth Earl of Kintore. A mansion, now extinct, is represented by fine old trees that adorned its grounds.
