Kilspindie Castle dates back to the 16th century. All that now remains above ground is an 8.0 metre long section of the north wall, standing to a maximum height of around 1.60 metres at the western end of it.

Within this section of wall, which is about 0.8 metres thick, is a clearly-defined doorway and a gun loop beside it.

A heavy studded door from the castle was taken to nearby Luffness House, while various stones were taken for use as building materials for properties in Aberlady.
