Claypotts Castle

Fantastic looking medieval castle right next to ugly modern housing. Built in the late 1500's and in remarkably good condition as it was continually occupied for nearly 500 years. In 1689 it became crown property after the death of the then owner in battle. Although not open you are able to wander all around its outside and there is also an information board.

Lovely castle with a phone number to call if you want to gain entry. Not large grounds but they are lovely. The castle itself is beautifully crafted and maintained

Excellent castle. I used to live near here when I was at primary school. I’ve passed a few times, but never stopped off until today. There was a nice lady also visiting, and when I suggested she also visit Broughty Castle, she drove us there, and visited also. Thanks Francine.

The castle was closed. But nice to see. Well looked after.

Cute little castle. Viewable from the outside only unless you call to arrange entry. Classic Z plan design.

It looks small from the outside but its quite deceptive, there are a few interesting things... And the keyholder was very informative. And very pleasant, would definitely recommend you give it a look.. And Broughty Ferry isnt too far away with lots of shops and Another Castle to view which worth a visit too..

Really different style of castle. If you're into castles this is quite possibly the best example of a Scottish Noble's fortified residence from that era. Organise a tour inside to see the best of Scottish nobility. Fascinating how this was the residence of just one family and had no garrison structure other than the castle fortifications.

Quirky 16th Century Castle. Sadly no access to the inside. More of a fashion statement than a practical Castle, but beautiful none the less. Worth a visit.
