The mansion incorporates some of an L-plan tower house, dating from the sixteenth century, although there was a stronghold from early times.
John Billiol, 'Toom Tabard', was forced to abdicate as King of Scots here by Edward I of England in 1296. Sir Thomas Maule defend the castle for three weeks against the English in 1303, but was slain by a missile from a catapult. The castle was held by the Maules, but passed to the Erskine Earls of Mar, until they sold it back to the Maule Earl of Panmure in 1646; they built the existing mansion in 1711. The family was forfeited for its part in the 1715 Jacobite Rising, but the property was bought back by a relation and the title restored. The property later passed through marriage to the Ramsays of Dalhousie, and Brechin castle i still apparently occupied by the Earl of Dalhousie.
