History
The castle was constructed in around 1495 by Alexander Lindsay, 7th Earl of Crawford (d.1517). It was originally an L-plan tower house with five storeys. It is owned by the Blackburn family who also own Fernie Castle in Fife.
According to John Knox, James V of Scotland visited the castle just before his death in 1542.
Castle today
As of February 2013, the castle is for sale, at the price of £220,000. The sales particulars mention that the castle is a Category B Listed Building, but not that it is a monument scheduled under the terms of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.(Link)
