Scotstarvit Tower is a 17th century tower house which incorporates earlier work.
A castle here seems to have been built in the second half of the 15th century, and was certainly in existence by 1475, when it was known as Tarwald or Tarvet. It stands on a slight rocky outcrop, rising above the surrounding land.
The estate was acquired by the Inglis family in 1487 and in March 1488 Alexander Inglis of Tarwald resigned his lands of Tarwald and Caploquhy, superior and inferior, with their mills, and the half lands of Balbirny, which were then incorporated for him into the free barony of Tarwald.
Alexander Inglis was dead by 1518 and was succeeded by his son, also Alexander, who was married to Margaret Barclay, a daughter of Barclay of Innergellie. In February 1541 the younger Alexander resigned his lands of Tervait which were then erected into the free barony of Tarvait by James V for Alexander’s good service.

Immediately after passing Innergellie, we enter on the lands of Caiplie, formerly possessed by the Inglis’s of Tarvit
Alexander Inglis of West Tarvit is mentioned in 1443. He married, in 1480, Christian Balfour, relict of James, heir of William Bonar of Rossie. A brother, Thomas, is mentioned in 1497. Alexander Inglis of Tarvit and Carslogie, son of the last, is mentioned in 1503 and 1511. He died between 1513 and 1518.
Alexander Inglis of Tarvit, son of the last, was a minor at his father’s death; and John Inglis, probably his uncle, appears as tutor in 1518 and 1521. He has in 1513 a charter to part of ‘Caskelpy,’ which I take to be Couplie, the old spelling of which, however, in Wynton’s Chronicle is ‘Campeachy.' Alexander married Margaret Barclay of Innergellie, by whom he had Alexander, his heir; and probably a daughter, who married Nairne of Sandford. In 1540 he has a charter of Tarvit, Couplie, and half Bawburn, united into the barony of Tarvit. He was slain at Pinkie in 1547.
Alexander Inglis of Tarvit, son of the last, married, first, before 1549, Elizabeth Kemp, and, second, after 1569, Agnes Scott, relict of Dishington of Ardross, who survived him. His children were John, his heir; George, who died in 1596; Arthur; Alexander, who died in 1613; and Andrew, who died before 1607. In his charter of 1548, the lands are enumerated as Overton, Netherton, and Thirdpart (hence obviously the name) of Caiplie, with the mill and Easter Pitcorthie. He died c. 1590.
John Inglis of Tarvit, son of the last, married, before 1579, Elizabeth, daughter of David Carnegie of Colluthie, with a tocher of £4000 Scots. She was heiress of half Leuchars, which she conveyed to her father. By her he had Alexander, his heir ; David, who married the widow of Innervate (and had John, who died s.p. Eupham, who married James Callendar, apothecary in Cupar ; and Agnes, who married John King, writer) ; Eupham, who married Sir Andrew Balfour ; Agnes, who became the second wife of Gilbert Campbell of Keithilk ; Catherine, who married, first, Alexander Winchester of Kinglassie ; and, second, William Moncreiff of Randerston (and was the ancestress of George Martin of Clermont) ; Anna, who married Patrick Balfour ; and a daughter who married Campbell of Perse. He died between 1606 and 1610.
