What is recorded here
Ballinbreich Castle is a ruined three-storey tower in Fife, built by Clan Leslie in the 14th century and largely rebuilt in the 16th. It overlooks the Firth of Tay, and Mary, Queen of Scots stayed there in 1563 and 1565. The castle may have had an outer curtain wall, but only the main L-plan structure and faint crop marks of earlier enclosures remain visible today.
