Balgonie Castle

Balgonie Castle stands on the south bank of the River Leven near Milton of Balgonie in Fife. The courtyard castle originated in the late fourteenth or early fifteenth century, with a north-east range probably added in 1496 and further additions through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, culminating in work completed in 1706 that linked the earlier ranges together. It is a Category A listed building under Historic Environment Scotland's designation, first listed in 1972. Restoration of the castle began in 1971 and continued through the following decades. Balgonie combines a fourteenth-century tower house with later domestic ranges built up over more than three centuries of Fife's architectural history.
