HistoryAuchanachie Castle probably began as a tall tower, reduced in height when an extension was added in the 17th century.[2] It was the home of the eldest son of the Gordons of Avochie. It passed to the second son of the fourth laird, whose family still own it.[2] Part of it which has been modernised is still lived in.[2] StructureThe tower now has three storeys,[2] with a two-storey eastern extension at right angles.[2] The doorway bears the date 1594.[1] There is a large circular stair-tower in the angle, and it has shot-holes under the eaves, and arrow-slit windows.,[2] There is a massive chimney-stack on the east front, although the fireplace has been closed.[2] By the chimney stack is a doorway with the inscription. FROM OVR ENEMIES DEFENDE VS O CHRIST.[1] There is a vaulted basement; bosses carry the arms of Campbell, Fraser and Gordon.[2] A step turnpike stair leads to the vaulted hall on the first floor, which is small.[2] The building has been renovated and harled. There is a 17th-century circular dovecot, also harled, in the grounds of the tower.[1] It is a category A listed building.[3] See also
