Keith Inch Castle (also known as the Tower of Keith Inch)[1] was a 16th-century L-plan tower house and courtyard, about 1.0 mile (1.6 km) east of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
[4] In the Jacobite Rising of 1715, the 10th Earl Marischal George Keith supported the rebellion, with The Old Pretender landing from France in Peterhead.
After the Battle of Sherriffmuir lead to the defeat of the rebellion, and the exile of James Stuart, the castle was sacked and looted in the first week of February 1716 by Hanoverian troops who had been tasked with putting down further Jacobite unrest in Peterhead.
[2] The tower itself was round, and the addition, an unadorned house, was on the landward side.
[3][4] The last of its remains disappeared in the late 19th century, although, according to Charles McKean, as of the 1990s, "the occasional massive stone wall can be discovered".
