Details Site of a manor and castle dating from the 15th century - it was in existence by 1465. The oldest part was the east wing which may have dated from the later 15th century. The south wing was probably 17th century in date. What may have been the course of a former round angle tower was found immediately outside the southeast corner of the castle in 1932. William Duff took possession of the house in 1741 and was responsible for a major programme of landscaping and improvements to the castle policies which involved the development of extensive parkland and formal gardens. The parkland still survives south of the castle site. The castle was ruinous by 1956 and demolished in 1964. A new house was built on the site.
