Ravenscraig Castle, also known as the Craig of Inverugie, is a ruined 15th-century L-shaped tower-house north-west of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is a scheduled ancient monument. The castle was the seat of the barony of Torthorston, held by the Cheynes family, and passed to the Keiths in the mid-14th century.

| - Ravenscraig Castle, auch Craig of Inverugie, ist die Ruine einer Niederungsburg nordwestlich von Peterhead in der schottischen Grafschaft Aberdeenshire. Die Reste des Tower House aus dem 15. Jahrhundert mit L-förmigem Grundriss gelten als Scheduled Monument. Die Burg war der Herrensitz des Baronats Torthorston, das sich ursprünglich in den Händen der Familie Cheynes befand und Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts an die Keiths überging. Eine Lizenz zum Bau einer neuen Burg erteilte der König im Mai 1491; das Tower House entstand an den Ufern des Flusses Ugie und war zu Verteidigungszwecken von einem Burggraben umgeben. König Jakob VI. besuchte die Burg 1589. (de)
- Ravenscraig Castle, also known as the Craig of Inverugie, is a ruined 15th-century L-shaped tower-house north-west of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is a scheduled ancient monument. The castle was the seat of the barony of Torthorston, held by the Cheynes family, and passed to the Keiths in the mid-14th century. A licence was granted to build a new castle in May 1491, with the castle built on the banks of the Ugie and defended by a moat. It is thought that King James VI of Scotland visited the castle in 1589 to attend the wedding of Rebecca Keith and Sir James Gordon of Lesmoir. At that time the castle belonged to John Keith of Ravenscraig, whose half-brother William Keith of Delny was a courtier and diplomat who had tried to save the life of Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1587. Most of the castle's decorative features and dressed stone have been robbed; however, the vaulted ground floor and principal apartments on the first are still visible. "A circular stair in the re-entrant angle rose originally above the wall head into a turret." (en)
