Balgonie Castle, Medieval castle in Markinch, Scotland
The castle features a five-story tower with a garret, standing within a courtyard that contains building ranges dating from the 14th to 18th centuries.
The Sibbald family constructed the initial fortified structure in the 1360s, which included a tower house at the northwest corner of the courtyard.
The castle interior preserves medieval architecture elements, including two vaulted floors and a turnpike stair that extends from the first floor to the parapets.
Visitors can access the castle through guided tours, which showcase both the restored keep and the remaining historical structures within the courtyard walls.
A skeleton discovered under the castle floor in 1912 adds to the numerous documented supernatural occurrences reported within the medieval structure.
