Burgie Castle, Tower house in Moray, Scotland.

The remaining north-west tower of Burgie Castle rises six stories high with a parapet and features a corbelled-out stair tower in its corner.

The Dunbar family received the land from Kinloss Abbey in 1566 and constructed this Z-plan castle, which was partially demolished in 1802 for materials.

The preserved tower contains an original fireplace displaying the Dunbar family arms dated 1602, representing the architectural traditions of Scottish nobility.

Current preservation efforts are managed by the Burgie Castle Preservation Trust, with limited access due to ongoing structural maintenance work.

The castle tower maintains its original iron yett entrance gate and window bars, along with shot holes and embrasures in its defensive walls.
