Killernie Castle is a 16th-century fortified residence located in Fife, Scotland. The castle represents a typical example of Scottish lowland domestic architecture from the early modern period, constructed during a time of relative stability when defensive requirements were evolving towards greater emphasis on comfort and status. The structure reflects the architectural practices of its era, though the site has undergone considerable changes over the centuries. Like many Scottish castles of this date, Killernie represents an important phase in the transition from medieval stronghold to early modern country house.
