The site of Fullerton Castle, supposedly erected in 1497, is situated on top of the ridge, some 200m SE of Meigle Free Church manse. It is marked as a substantial building on the maps of James Knox and James Stobie although the OS 6" map of 1863 does not show it.
Stone from the castle was later, presumably between 1850 and 1863, removed and used for the construction of the farmhouse and steading at Myreside (now South West Fullarton). Ornamental architectural stones carved in a 16 th-century style can be seen there at the present. There are otherwise no remains extant of the old structure of the castle.
