Balfluig Castle

Balfluig Castle is a restored 16th century tower house.

The castle was built in 1556, probably by the same master mason who built Abergeldie Castle.

Local tradition states that the laird of Balfluig and the laird of Endovie used to fire pistols at each other from their battlements in fits of jealousy, such was the proximity of their towers. One laird, possibly that of Endovie, is said to have been killed in one such encounter.

Although the castle had fallen into a semi-ruinous state by the 1960s, between 1967 and 1968 it was completely restored and is now occupied.
