Castle Forbes, 1815-21, Archibald Simpson, completed John Smith. Originally called Putachie; an impression of going through the motions pervades this large baronial block. Smith took over after trouble over the north staircase. In squared granite with simple detail, it is dominated by a four-storey circular battlemented tower at the south-west angle.
