Inverugie Castle, Ruined castle in St Fergus, Scotland.
The remains include a rectangular main block featuring two round towers and remnants of a courtyard with partially standing walls and gateways.
The Keith family constructed this castle around 1660 near their previous wooden fortress, making it their residence until the Jacobite Rebellion consequences.
The castle entrance displayed sculptures of horses, carriages, and Scottish symbols, representing one of the earliest depictions of wheeled transport in Scotland.
The castle ruins stand on private land near the River Ugie, approximately two miles from the coastal town of Peterhead in northeastern Scotland.
Robert Burns's father, William Burnes, received his gardening training at Inverugie Castle before relocating to Ayrshire in the 18th century.
