Balintore Castle is a Victorian Category A listed building in Scotland.
The castle occupies an elevated site in moorland above Balintore village, a few miles north of the Loch of Lintrathen, near Kirriemuir, Angus. A tower house named Balintor existed on the site in the late 16th century, according to Timothy Pont's maps.
It was designed in 1859 by the architect William Burn. A typical example of the Scottish Baronial style, it features an abundance of turreted towers and gables,and a gone oriel window. The main tower is topped by a balustraded viewing platform similar to that of Buchanan Castle.
