Lordscairnie Castle
Lordscairnie Castle is a ruin situated near Moonzie, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north-east of Cupar, Fife, Scotland. The castle was constructed in around 1495 by Alexander Lindsay, 7th Earl of Crawford (d.1517). It was originally an L-plan tower house with five storeys. It is owned by the Blackburn family who also own Fernie Castle in Fife.
According to John Knox, James V of Scotland visited the castle just before his death in 1542.[1]
As of February 2013[update] the castle is for sale, at the price of £220,000.[2] The sales particulars mention that the castle is a Category B Listed Building, but not that it is a monument scheduled under the terms of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.http://data.historic-scotland.gov.uk/pls/htmldb/f?p=2920:15:0::NO::CASTLE:3037
