History
Built in the 12th century by King Malcolm III as a hunting lodge, it was expanded in 1577 by the Spalding family. It is now ruinous.
The castle also has a ley tunnel legend, a tradition often found associated with ancient residences. This tunnel was said to link up with nearby Ashintully Castle.
