History

A branch of the Forbes family owned the manor of Brux from 1409 through marriage to the heiress; it was raised to a barony in 1504–1505. The `manor house of Brux’ was referred to as a gentleman's seat in 1724.

Structure

There is little evidence of the structure, although some stonework on the Mains of Brux is probably from the castle.
