Borbie Castle Circa 1/2 Mile North-West Of Comb

Borbie Castle, located about half a mile north-west of Comb, is a ruined bastle house dating from the 16th or early 17th century. The structure is built from large blocks of random rubble, with walls that stand between approximately 8 to 15 feet high and are around 57 inches thick. The ground-floor doorway, situated in the north gable end, features an alternating-block surround with rounded edges and a relieving arch, of which only one voussoir remains. There is also a slit window in the south gable end. Inside the doorway, the structure has a rebated design and includes a hole for a harr post and drawbar tunnels. The springing of the vault is still visible.
