Castle of Haulkerton NO 712 731 NO77SW
Castle of Haulkerton, which was probably a tower, stood 220m NNE of Mains of Haulkerton farm, where two stones built into the steading bear dates of 1648 and (probably) 1556.
Traces of the foundations could be seen in the 19th century. Cramond (1894) states that it was last used as a residence in the early 18th century, and was ruinous by 1790. Its stones were used to build dykes round Haulkerton Plantation, in Mains of Haulkerton steading, and when building the parish church (NO77SW 16).
