Corsindae House

Corsindae is a 15th and 16th century castle which was remodelled and extended in the 19th century.

The core of Corsindae is thought to be a 15th century tower which may date to 1484. The tower is believed to have been rebuilt in the late 16th century at which point it consisted of a three storey L-plan tower house with a round stair tower in the re-entrant angle.

In the 17th century Corsindae was owned by the Forbes family and Janet Forbes, daughter of James Forbes of Casendae, married Duncan Forbes of Bught, later Forbes of Culloden.

The tower was extended to the west, possibly in 1726 by Lord Braco who had in 1719 married Janet Forbes, widow of Hugh Forbes of Craigievar Further extensions were built around 1800. A probable service wing was added to the north during the first half of the 19th century, possibly by John Smith in 1840 when the house was remodelled to create an approximately symmetrical U-plan building.

The castle underwent an extensive restoration in 1954 and 1955 and remains a private home.
