There has been a castle here since the 14th century, but the current Invermark Castle is from the 16th century. It's an oblong tower that stands at the end of the Glen Esk Road at the start of the gravel track up to Loch Lee. The castle was abandoned in 1803 and is now partially ruined. You can go up to the base but there is no access inside.

...admire the old tower/castle, cross the river (bridge!) and keep going through a gate. Now the tarmac runs out but continue 0.7mile along the track to Loch Lee, it’s a very tranquil setting with church ruins. Take your picnic.
