Udny Castle near Udny Green is a typical Scottish tower house with ornamental turrets, built by the Udny family around the 15th century and still in the hands of family descendants today. Additional wings were added in the 19th century but were demolished in the 1960s. In 1634 the family moved to their other property of Knockhall Castle, but after a devastating fire 100 years later, they returned to Udny.
