Drumin Castle is a late medieval fortified residence located in Banffshire, in the northeast of Scotland. The castle dates to the fifteenth century and represents the domestic architecture of the Scottish landed gentry during the late medieval period. The structure survives as a tower house of modest proportions, a building type characteristic of Scottish baronial strongholds of this era. Its location and form reflect the settlement patterns and defensive requirements of the Aberdeenshire region during the centuries following the Wars of Independence.
