Ballinbreich Castle is a ruined tower house castle in Fife, Scotland.
The castle was built in the 14th century by Clan Leslie, and subsequently rebuilt several times. There may have been an outer curtain-wall though this no longer survives. Much of the present structure is of 16th-century date. It is a three storey L-plan castle and overlooks the Firth of Tay. [1] Ballinbreich is a scheduled monument.[2]
