Denmylne Castle

Denmylne Castle[1] is a ruined 16th-century tower house, about 1 mile (1.6 km) south east of Newburgh, Fife, Fife, Scotland, and 1 mile (1.6 km) north west of Lindores Loch[1] It may be known alternatively as Den Miln Castle.

[2] In 1460 James Balfour of Denmylne died at the siege of Roxburgh Castle, while John his son was killed in the battle of Flodden in 1513.

In 1617 Sir Michael Balfour of Denmylne's watermills were targeted by armed vandals who demolished the dam on Auld Lindores Loch.

The mill lades were filled up with red mud, as was a nearby house called Burnside belonging to John Leslie, 6th Earl of Rothes.

[4] Sir James Balfour, 1st Baronet of Denmilne and Kinnaird was appointed Lord Lyon King of Arms in 1639 (according to Coventry).
