Finlarig Castle NN 575 338 NN 53 SE 17
Although there may have been an earlier castle on the site the present building dates from 1609. It was probably built on the Z-plan, the tower at the NW angle having since been demolished. There is no trace of the moat once said to have surrounded the castle, and a small mound in its overgrown grounds is probably a garden feature.
