The ruins of Killernie Castle sit at the southwest extremity of Saline Hill. The castle was once known as the Castle of Balwearie. It was owned by the Scotts of Balwearie, one of whom was Sir Michael Scott, renowned knight and wizard. The ruins now consist only of fragments of two towers, of which the southern is said to be the more recent, bearing the date 1592.
