History
This was originally a property of the Borthwick family; it passed to the Sinclairs, who probably built the castle. The lands of Catcune are mentioned in 1527 and 1652. By 1908 the castle is reported to have been very ruinous; by 1954 reduced to the rock outcrop it was built on; by 1975 there was said to be no trace of it in a pasture field.{{Historic Environment Scotland|cat=PLA |num=53540 |num2=NT36SE 12 |desc=Catcune Castle|accessdate=2025-06-29}}
