Gardyne Castle, Tower house in Angus, Scotland.
The stone tower house stands with multiple floors, featuring thick defensive walls and architectural details characteristic of 16th-century Scottish construction.
The Gardyne family completed the construction in 1568, as evidenced by an inscribed stone, and maintained ownership until financial difficulties led to its sale in 1597.
The property represents the architectural patterns of Scottish nobility, incorporating defensive features while serving as a residential structure for prominent families.
Located 2 kilometers southwest of Friockheim, the castle underwent modernization in 1910 with the addition of electrical systems while maintaining its structural integrity.
The castle bears witness to a violent feud between the Gardyne and Guthrie families, which resulted in multiple murders and the eventual sale of the property.
