Ballinbreich Castle, Medieval tower house castle in Fife, Scotland.
The castle features a three-story L-shaped layout with defensive gun loops and overlooks the waters of the Firth of Tay.
Built in the 14th century by Clan Leslie, the castle underwent significant reconstruction in the 16th century and received visits from Mary, Queen of Scots.
The castle includes a consecration cross on its southern wall and contains a chapel on the second floor, showing the integration of religious elements.
The castle structure stands in ruins today, with remaining stone walls displaying examples of medieval Scottish architectural craftsmanship.
Early maps by Timothy Pont reveal the castle once incorporated a curving wall, while aerial views show crop marks indicating historical garden features.
