Carribber Castle

It is a 16th-century tower house castle, now ruined. The castle had a number of small buildings and courtyards. A square courtyard to the north is now covered in vegetation. A doorway is present in the west wall, thought to be no earlier than the 17th century. To the south is a rectangular range, possibly originally stables. The remaining walls are only 2.5 feet (0.76 m) feet thick, averaging 8 feet (2.4 m) tall, though are higher in places. The ruin is believed to have been intentionally knocked down.^[1][2][3][4]

Rob Gibb (1490–1558) inherited the lands from this father, also called Rob Gibb (sometimes spelled as Gyb), in 1541.^[5] The lands subsequently went to John Gibb (c.1550–1628), and then to his son Henry Gibb.^[6] It was later passed to the Hays in 1710 and eventually the Blairs of Avonton.^[3]
