Burgie Castle

Although in 1645 Dunbar of Burgie was in arms against James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose, in 1650 he bankrupted himself in paying for supplies for the army of Charles II.

In 1702 the castle was extended, but in 1802 most of it was demolished to furnish material for Burgie House, which was in due course rebuilt as a plain two-storey mansion in 1902.

A corbelled-out stair tower, with a cap house, stands in the re-entrant angle with the main block.

[1] In the remains of the main block is a fireplace surmounted by the Dunbar arms and the date 1602.

[2] Internally there are extensive areas of plasterwork, along with timberwork such as floors, cornices, doors and a shuttered window.
