Dairsie Castle, Medieval castle in Dairsie, Scotland
The castle stands on elevated ground near the River Eden, featuring thick stone walls and traditional architectural elements from the medieval period.
During Scotland's turbulent history, the castle hosted a parliamentary session in 1335 and provided shelter to King James VI after his escape in 1583.
The castle maintains connections to Scottish nobility, including bishops of St Andrews and the Learmonth family who controlled the property in the 16th century.
The medieval structure underwent extensive restoration in the 1990s and now functions as holiday accommodation for visitors to Fife.
The property includes Dairsie Old Church, constructed in 1621 by Archbishop John Spottiswoode adjacent to the castle grounds.
