The L-plan castle dates from the 15th century, and was a stronghold of the Setons and visited by Mary, Queen of Scots. It had a cobbled courtyard enclosed by a wall and turrets, and in the 17th century two more floors were added. It then fell into disrepair until restored and re-roofed at the 15th century level by William A Cadell. See http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/49263/details/niddry+castle/
