Whistleberry Castle are the remains of an old castle in Kinneff parish, Kincardineshire. This scrap of wall is all that remains of the castle. It looks as if cliff collapse may have disposed of some of it. The yellow plants are Wallflower.

Whistleberry Castle, very similar in situation to the Kame of Mathers, but still more decayed, is placed on a sharp rock projecting into the sea, about two miles north from Bervie. There is no tradition with regard to its history. But it is ascertained from good authority, to have once pertained to the family of Keith Marischal, as it now does to lord Keith, a descendant of that house.
