Findochty Castle is a ruined 16th-century tower house on a rock beside a drained loch in Moray, Scotland. The Gordons built it, the Ogilvies took it, and the Ord family acquired it in 1568 before developing the nearby fishing port. Its main block is gone except part of the north wall and west wing, but the small tower and former kitchen still rise about eight metres from the vaulted basement.
