Allardice Castle, L-plan tower house in Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Allardice Castle stands 1.5 kilometers from Inverbervie with thick stone walls, narrow windows, and an L-shaped design incorporating a main block with projecting wing.
Built around 1600, this Category A listed building served as both a military fortification and residence for local nobility during medieval Scottish territorial conflicts.
The castle exemplifies the architectural evolution of Scottish defensive structures, transitioning from timber constructions to permanent stone fortifications during the feudal period.
Located near Bervie Water river, the castle belongs to a network of coastal fortifications including Dunnottar Castle, Fetteresso Castle, and Muchalls Castle.
The current residents, the Cowie family, maintain this historical structure that represents the traditional defensive architecture of northeastern Scottish nobility.
