Invermark Castle According to local estate information, the castle dates from 1526 and was built to help deter, or provide protection from caterans [Highland raiders], who were in the habit of coming over the mountains from Deeside and stealing cattle and anything else they could get their hands on. The only door is high on the south side [left, and out of sight in this view], whilst there are gun loops at the base of the tower in the 5ft thick walls.

The 'front door' of Invermark Castle The only way into the castle is via this doorway, which retains its iron grille, and which is some 3m off the ground. Rather than have a ladder, it is thought that there was some form of drawbridge linked to an outbuilding which has now been demolished.

Invermark shooting lodge [and Dobbin] A Victorian shooting lodge for those interested in grouse shooting, deer stalking or fishing. Apparently the building is available for rent, but then if you can afford the grouse shooting you can almost certainly afford the rental fee.

Invermark old kirk The ruins of St Drostan's church at the eastern end of Loch Lee. The ruins date from the 17th century and are a rebuilding of an earlier church that was laid waste by the Marquis of Montrose in 1645. There are some interesting old gravestones and a fine view along Loch Lee towards the mountains beyond.

Eastern end of Loch Lee The loch occupies a glacial trench within the mountains of the Mounth and was adapted to serve as a reservoir, initially for the city of Dundee. The loch doesn't bear the usual reservoir scars of exposed edges, whilst the tiny dam/weir at the eastern end is hardly noticeable.
