Donibristle, Category A listed building in Fife, Scotland.
The remaining wings of Donibristle House stand near the Firth of Forth, connected by a subterranean passage and decorated with ornate wrought-iron screens.
The original castle burned down in 1592, leading to construction of a new residence in 1720 for the Earl of Moray before another fire in 1858.
The estate holds connections to the historical ballad 'The Bonnie Earl O' Moray', which commemorates the death of James Stewart in 1592.
The surviving wings of the house have been converted into residential properties, maintaining their architectural heritage while serving modern housing needs.
During World Wars I and II, the estate transformed into an airfield, operating as RNAS Donibristle for the Royal Naval Air Service.
