OS 6" map, (1967)
The remains of Pitteadie Castle stand 1 1/2 miles N of Kinghorn. They are in a bad state, the upper works being in a dangerous condition. The castle is a free-standing, rubble-built oblong tower, measuring 33 1/2' by 27 1/2'. It was originally built probably towards the end of the 15th century, but considerably altered two centuries later. The castle is surrounded by a 17th century park wall, in which are two Renaissance gateways.
