What is recorded here

Invermark Castle is a roofless, four-storey tower built for the Lindsay family, possibly in 1526, and still standing with walls nearly complete to the top. Its granite and schist walls hold rounded corners, a small projecting chamber, gun loops, and a vaulted ground floor reached by a turning stair. The house was repaired in 1729, inhabited into the middle of the 18th century, and later gutted in 1803 when nearby buildings were broken up and some stone was carried into Lochlee Parish Church. What remains is not a pretty ruin but a sharp-edged military room, still holding its shape against the Angus sky.
