Site of a castle. In 1813 the foundations of Carmyllie Castle could still be traced by Carmyllie Farmhouse according to antiquarian accounts. The NSA records that 'The Rev Mr Headrick...conjectures that Carmyllie and Carnegie, where there was likewise a castle, were originally Caledonian Forts.…'. Mr Kydd (Mason) told the OS in 1858 that he was present at the digging up of the old foundations, and that many of the stones are now in the outbuildings of the Mains of Carmyllie, also in the walls which divide the fields, some of them having heads carved on them. When visited by the OS in 1966 a stone bearing a crest was seen built into the south wall of the barn opposite the farmhouse.
