It lies around 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) north-east of Kirriemuir near the River South Esk.
The castle was first constructed as a rectangular tower in the 1440s, by Alexander Ogilvie, 2nd Lord Inverquharity.
[1] In the late 18th century, the tower was sold by the 5th Ogilvy Baronet, and the wing demolished.
In 2014, a BBC documentary followed the sale of the castle from the owners who had restored and lived there for the previous 40 years.
[2] It sold in 2012 for £611,000[3] and this category A listed building remains a private family home.
