In Glammis Field, on the north side of Kinghorn there are the foundations of a building called Glammis Castle (or Tower), presumably built by the family of that name. It may date to 1542 but had disappeared by 1790.

The site of Glammis Castle, now occupied by Nos. 3-5 Burt Avenue, is a strong natural position overlooking the old town and harbour of Kinghorn.
