Tilquhillie Castle is a castle near Banchory in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. A Category A listed building,[1] the castle formally formed part of the lands of Arbroath Abbey.[2] Historic Environment Scotland's listed-building report from 1972 described the castle thus:
Modified Z plan tower house, four storeys with vaulted basement. Harl and slate, rounded and corbelled angles. Inset stone over door dated 1576. Deserted since 1948.[1]
The castle was subsequently restored with modern amenities.[2] The novelist and travel writer Norman Douglas spent part of his childhood in Tilquhillie, the home of his paternal ancestors.
