Pittenweem - Kellie Castle and Garden

The oldest part of Kellie Castle (3mi/5km north of Pittenweem) probably dates from ca. 1350. The castle, as it is today, belonged to the Earls of Mar and Kellie and was built during the 16th century and early 17th century. James and Robert Lorimer carried out a major restoration of the T-shaped castle ca. 1878, but the site is now administered by the National Trust for Scotland. The 17th century paneling in the Lounge, the landscape pictures on the paneling in the Dining Room and Jakob de Witt's ceiling paintings in the Vine Room showing the Greek gods and the rich plasterwork on the ceiling deserve special attention. The Late Victorian garden is noted for its display of roses.

The garden also has box hedges, colorful borders, organic and herbaceous plants and fruit trees.
