Aberdour Castle
Aberdour Castle, at Easter Aberdour in Fife, Scotland, has fabric dating from around 1200 and was enlarged repeatedly through the 16th and 17th centuries by the Earls of Morton. The complex comprises a medieval tower house, a 16th-century central range, a 17th-century east wing, terraced gardens and a walled garden; today much of the medieval fabric is ruinous while the east wing remains roofed and the site is managed by Historic Environment Scotland.

As it stood in 1647
The shape it held in its prime.
As it stood in its prime (c.1647): a compact skewed rectangular stone tower house with thick cubical masonry walls, higher 15th-century upper storeys capped by a parapet with machicolations, and an attached three-storey central range to the south marked by a horizontal string course. A slender round stair-tower (originally with a conical roof) projects at the southeast corner. To the east a 17th-century wing with continuous pitched roof and gabled ends sits along the south edge of an outer courtyard; terraced stone retaining walls descend the slope to the south and a formal walled garden lies to the east.
