Avochie Castle
The castle, if such it was, is a very modest affair, being little more than a simple rectangular building of which only the gables still survive. It is thought to have been built in the 16th century, and was blown up by Hanoverian troops after the Jacobite Rising of 1745-1746. John Gordon of Avochie was a noted Jacobite and is said to have escaped by jumping out of a window.

Avochie Castle ruin
Avochie Castle is a very ruined 16th Century Tower House. Only the gable ends, with a corbelled-out bartizan at one corner, survive. It was a property of the Gordons of Avochie, who took an active part in the fighting of the reigns of Mary, queen of Scots, and James VI. The modern Avochie House is nearby.
