Carribber Castle is a ruined 16th century tower house which was built by Rob Gibb.

In 1649 James Gibb of Carribber and Sir Robert Drummond of Midhope granted to David Hay, son of John Hay of Easter Kennet, the lands of Woodcockdale which Sir Robert’s father, Alexander Drummond, had occupied half a century earlier.
