Taringzen, or Terringzean, Castle is located on high ground to the south of the Lugar Water and is protected on the south-west side by a dry ditch. The first buildings, including the tower, may date from the late 14th century. Additions were made towards the end of the 16th century. There’s not a lot left to see nowadays.
