Pittarthie Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Dunino, Scotland
The remains of Pittarthie Castle consist of a three-story tower house built with high-quality rubble and ashlar stone dressings on a hilltop location.
The castle was constructed around 1580 for James Monypenny of Pitmilly, who held the estate from the Archbishop of Saint Andrews before its transfer to Andrew Logan.
The architectural design incorporates defensive elements including gunloops next to the roll-moulded door and pistol holes beneath every window sill of the structure.
The castle ruins stand 2.5 kilometers southwest of Dunino and 6.5 kilometers northwest of Anstruther, with surrounding garden terraces and building foundations still visible.
The structure features a staggered L-shaped plan with a rounded northwest corner and retains its associated buildings, courtyards, and gardens, which rarely survive in Scottish castles.
