Inverugie Castle was a late 16th or early 17th Century towerhouse with two corner towers and a large courtyard. James Ferguson repaired and added to it before his son dismantled it, and the towerhouse was blown up in 1899. The outer gate dated 1670 and showed a carriage with four horses, two galloping horsemen, a Scottish thistle and a lion. Roofless walls and a stump remain beside the courtyard in Aberdeenshire.
