Boddam Castle

About

Boddam Castle is a ruined castle in Boddam, Aberdeenshire, on the coast of north-east Scotland. It was thought to have been built in the early 16th century as a seat for the Keiths of Ludquharn. It is a scheduled monument and was a Category B listed structure until its listed status was removed in 2015 due to dual designation.

Only slight remains survive, chiefly parts of a gatehouse with a semi-circular moulded archway and a window with a relieving arch above. Parts of the castle's cannons were still lying sunk in the bank as late as 1776.
