History
The property is said to have belonged to Thomas Gordon, known as Tam o Riven (or Ruthven), a character for whom it is difficult to sort fact from the legend. It seems that Auchanachie Castle replaced Daugh Castle as the main residence in the 16th century.{{cite web |url=http://www.rothi.co.uk/people1.html|work=Rothiemay|title=Thomas Gordon (14/15th century)|accessdate=2019-12-24}}
Structure
Daugh Castle can now be identified only by a natural mound north of the farm of Little Daugh. It may well have been a timber structure, which has disappeared, although the access road remains. The castle had a strong position with a wide view of lower Strathisla. The remains suggest the dimensions of the enclosure wall were about {{convert|180|ft}} by {{convert|150|ft}}.
