@Yasutomo I hadn't checked your link. Have now looked it up in Collins, which has "aerie" and "aery" as "variant spelling[s] of eyrie, especially US". I hadn't previously come across those spellings, however the listing as "variant" does mean Collins considers them less usual or recognised, at least for EN-UK.
Yasutomo Kanazawa Dec 28, 2015:
@BD Did you see the first link I posted?
Both spellings are correct.

Eyrie "Aerie" looks like a misspelling.

Thank you very much!
agree Yvonne Gallagher : Seems to be a building (restaurant) rather than a "dwelling". Yes, like an eagle's nest on a lofty perch

Thank you very much!
agree Tony M : Yes, as gallagy says, the normal meaning is an eagle's nest perched atop a mountain.

Thank you very much!
agree AllegroTrans : no doubt a bit more luxurious than a mere eagle's nest, but "perched high above the city" without doubt

Thank you very much!
agree Anna Herbst : Spelt "eyrie" in B.E. and Aus.E. - quite a few houses named "The Eyrie" on the mountain where I live just outside Melbourne.
