Balgonie Castle
Balgonie Castle is a medieval tower house and courtyard castle on the south bank of the River Leven in Fife, Scotland. The 14th‑century keep stands with later ranges added between the 15th and early 18th centuries; the keep and chapel have been restored while other ranges remain roofless ruins. The site includes a 15th‑century gatehouse, an enclosed courtyard and remnants of a landscaped park.

As it stood in 1706
The shape it held in its prime.
A tall, rectangular 14th‑century stone keep with pitched roof and crow‑stepped gables dominates the silhouette, linked to lower multi‑storey ranges to the east and south by stone stair and corridors. A semi‑ruinous 15th‑century gatehouse opens onto a cobbled courtyard around a well, with roofless east and north ranges showing exposed walls and chimney stacks. Large mature trees and the River Leven lie close by, and an external parapet walk and cannon spouts are visible at the keep roofline.
