Burleigh Castle, Milnathort, Scottish Castles, Castle

Burleigh Castle image The present imposing castle was started by the Balfours in the second half of the 15th century. The tower house and a wall of a later courtyard with an arched gateway still survive. The round base with square caphouse on top which give the building its unusual shape, were built in 1582 by Sir James Balfour of Mountquhaine and Pittendreich. The original tower house has lost its roof but you can get a key from a nearby house and view the vaulted cellar and the paved first floor hall. Access to the round tower is not permitted.
The castle is now looked after by Historic Scotland. The castle is open to the public from 1st April - 30th September 09.30 - 18.00hrs.
Key available from 2, Burleigh Castle Steading, Milnathort, KY13 9GG,
