Inglismaldie Castle

Inglismaldie Castle stands in the parish of Marykirk within Kincardineshire, Scotland. It is a Tower House built in 1636, later revised in 1882 by Aberdeen architect James Matthews. The castle once belonged to the Earl of Kintore. A pigeon house added to the property was placed on Scotland’s register of listed buildings in 2007. Its condition was judged very poor with moderate risk seven years later. The castle’s history reflects changes in ownership and architectural taste over centuries. The 17th-century Tower House remains the core of the structure. Matthews’s 19th-century revisions introduced new design elements. The pigeon house, though modest, holds cultural significance as a listed building. Its decline highlights the challenges of preserving smaller heritage structures. Visitors find a modest but historic castle set in rural Aberdeenshire. The Tower House dominates the scene with its simple stone walls. The 19th-century alterations blend with the original design. The pigeon house, though in poor condition, adds an unusual detail to the grounds. The surrounding parish of Marykirk offers quiet countryside views.
