Burleigh Castle, Tower house in Milnathort, Scotland
The three-story stone tower measures 11 meters by 9 meters externally and features a distinctive corner tower with a round base and rectangular top floor.
The lands were granted to John Balfour of Balgarvie in 1456 by James II, leading to the construction of the tower house in the late 15th century.
Mary of Guise dined at the castle in 1540, and James VI of Scotland made several visits during his reign at this noble residence.
Visitors can access the castle from April through September on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and the first weekend of each month between 9:30 AM and 5:30 PM.
A substantial ditch extends 25 meters in length and reaches 8 meters in width along the western side of the castle structure.
