Burgie Castle. Only this six-storey tower remains of the original large Z-plan castle.It looks in reasonable repair, though the windows have all been boarded up since 1991 when 13146 was taken. The castle was finished in 1602 by Alexander Dunbar, lay Dean of Moray. He obtained the lands from his brother-in-law Walter Reid, last Abbot of Kinloss Abbey, in 1566. The fireplace lintel is carved with the initials A D, K R and R D, presumably for Alexander Dunbar, his wife Katherine Reid and son Robert Dunbar.
