Airlie Castle
Airlie Castle is a former Ogilvy stronghold near the confluence of the Rivers Isla and Melgund in Angus, Scotland. Founded around 1432, the medieval castle was burned in 1640; parts of its stone curtain wall and gateway survive and a late-18th-century mansion was later built incorporating those ruins. The site and associated stables are occupied and protected as listed buildings.

As it stood in 1639
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a raised promontory above the meeting of two rivers, the castle forms a rectangular courtyard enclosed by very thick stone curtain walls (about three metres thick). The surviving east curtain wall runs roughly 36 metres and reaches about 9 metres high; an entrance gateway stands at its north end and now carries a later square tower. A cylindrical tower rises above the wallline; the approach from the east was protected by a moat. In prime condition the stone walls are continuous and intact.
