Background
History
The first evidence of a building on the site was in 1304. The current castle began as a 16th-century tower house before it was expanded in 1608 by John Halliday who bought the land in 1589 from the Herring family. The castle was extended again later in the 18th century In 2012, a memorial was unveiled at the castle, commissioned by the current owner of the castle, Rhoderick Moncreiff. It commemorates the Crook of Devon witch trials in 1662 where previous members of the Moncreiff family sent 11 people to their deaths because they were believed to be witches. The castle is now primarily used for weddings and events as well as a bed and breakfast.
