The Castle stands on a bluff above the River Eden in the beautiful countryside of Northeast Fife. It is just 6 miles from St Andrews, and therefore within a one hour’s drive of Dundee, Perth and Edinburgh.

The castle has three towers, two round and one square. It is built on 4 floors. On the first floor there is a well equipped kitchen with an Aga and gas cooking facilities. This opens into the Great Hall, which is stone-flagged and lined with portraits of characters associated with the castle. Here there is an oak dining table which seats 12 and a wood burning fire. On the second floor there is a family room with TV, HiFi and toyroom. On the top floor there is a picture gallery, which runs the length of the castle, and a study.

The castle can sleep up to 13 people. The accommodation consists of the main bedroom with a large four-poster bed, two four-poster single beds and an ensuite bathroom. In the square tower there are two bedrooms with double beds and en-suite bathrooms. In the vaulted cellars there is a “dungeon” twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Additionally, the South caphouse bedroom has two single beds and the North caphouse one single bed, which have access to the top floor shower-room.

The castle has 6 acres of grounds, which includes a herb garden, parterre, mown meadow and woodland walk down to the River Eden. The walled courtyard includes a viewing tower and garage with cover for two cars.

The castle is available for 7 day lets only. Strictly no pets or smoking allowed. The floors are reached by steep, spiral stairs.
