Balgarvie Castle stood in Balgarvie, near Cupar in Fife. The castle was sacked by an English army led by Sir John Pettsworth during the reign of Robert the Bruce (1306–1329).[1]
The castle was a possession of the Balfours of Burleigh, and was later sold to the Earl of Melville.[1] It was demolished around 1938–1940, and there are no remains surviving.[2]
