Allardice Castle (also spelled Allardyce) is a sixteenth-century manor house in Kincardineshire, Scotland.^[1]^[2] It is approximately 1.5 kilometres northwest of the town of Inverbervie. The Bervie Water flows around Allardice Castle on both sides. Allardice may be viewed as one of a chain of coastal castles; to the north are Dunnottar Castle (ruined), Fetteresso Castle, Cowie Castle (ruined) and Muchalls Castle. The castle is a category A listed building.^[3] Allardice castle was the chief seat of the Barons of Allardice, an ancient family who first appear in an 1197 charter. Since 1542 (the time at which the current L-plan building was built) many alterations and changes have been made to the original structure.^[4]
