What is recorded here

Inglismaldie Castle stands in Aberdeenshire as a layered tower house belonging to the Earls of Kintore, its oldest parts possibly preceding the 1636 date carved into the building. The castle absorbed new wings, survived fire, and reappeared in 1882 with restored turret tops and a changed west wing. Nearby, an 18th century dovecot holds hundreds of nesting boxes, suggesting that birds and people once shared the same restless sky.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Inglismaldie Castle as Castle (early 17th Century), Country House (late 19th Century), Tower House (early 17th Century).

Inglismaldie Castle was originally built as a tower house in the early 17th century, likely by a local landholding family in the Mearns region of Scotland. It is remembered for its historical evolution from a defensive structure to a country house in the late 19th century, reflecting changes in Scottish land use and architecture.
