Affleck
Tower is an L-plan tower that is fairly plain on the
outside, and well-designed as a defensive castle. It has
a pair of battlemented cap-houses and gun-ports on the
lower levels, but the interior is four/five stories of
fine living in the tower and "L" respectively. |

The castle
was built about 1460 near Dundee in Tayside, probably by
the Auchinleks, who were the hereditary armour-bearers to
the powerful Clan Lindsay, the Earls of Balcarres. The
castle is kept up beautifully, but is no longer open to
the public due to the inconsiderate behavior of some past
visitors. |
