Gight
Gight Castle is a late 16th-century L-plan tower house on the Gight estate in Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, close to the River Ythan. Built in the 1570s, it comprises a main tower range with a vaulted basement, a turnpike stair accessed from a long passage, a first-floor hall, and later ranges of outbuildings. It has been uninhabited since the late 18th century and is now a scheduled monument in ruin.

As it stood in 1575
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact L‑shaped stone tower house of coursed rubble, with a projecting tower range and attached lower service ranges; walls are of local pale sandstone with irregular rectangular window and arrow-slit openings. At prime the building rises to two or three storeys with pitched roofs and chimneys over the main ranges, and a taller tower set on the inner angle. The castle sits on open pasture with mixed broadleaved woodland nearby and the River Ythan a short distance to the north.
