What is recorded here
Aldie Castle is a privately occupied tower house and mansion set in private lands overlooking the Pow Burn west of Loch Leven. It can be made out at a distance from the public road running from Cleish to the A823, but the castle is over half a mile away from the road. It consists of a rectangular tower of three storeys and an attic, with an L-shaped extension to the south, creating a tiny walled courtyard in the centre, now covered with a glass roof. Three of the corners are crowned by round turrets, the south-west has a square caphouse. The
