Inverallochy Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

The remains include a tower in the northeast corner reaching full height, with curtain walls extending up to 10 meters around three sides of a courtyard.

Built in 1504, the castle belonged to Sir William Comyn who served as Lord Lyon from 1512 to 1519 and managed the construction of this fortified structure.

The castle forms part of The Nine Castles of Knuckle, a collection of fortifications along the rocky headland of Northeast Aberdeenshire marking territorial boundaries.

Located 4 miles from Fraserburgh and near the village of Inverallochy, the ruins maintain protected status as a scheduled monument under British preservation laws.

The castle originally stood beside the Loch of Inverallochy, which has since been drained, altering the surrounding landscape from its medieval appearance.
