The original stone keep was built here before 1267. It was used, defended and attacked at various times until the mid 1500's when it was abandoned when the laird moved to a new tower house on the site of the current Yaster House. The castle fell into ruin and now only the partially underground Goblin Hall remains. The castle is in a wonderful position in a bend of the stream and surrounded by woodland. It makes a great walk from Gifford.
