All that is left of this castle is this tall remnant of the great keep and some foundations of the rest of the building. It dates from the 14th century, and was rebuilt in 1530 for Sir William Leslie, 7th Baron of Balquhain. The windowless lower wall is probably part of the older castle. The gable of the farm house of Mains of Balquhain is visible to the left. For a long and detailed description see https://canmore.org.uk/site/19022/balquhain-castle
