Balfour Castle was a baronial mansion at Balfour Mains, near Kirkton of Kingoldrum, Angus, Scotland. The castle was built in the 16th century and was largely demolished except for a six-storey circular tower. A farm house has been built incorporating some of the ruins in c. 1845.[1] The farmhouse and castle remains were designated as a Category B listed building in 1971.[2]
