A small fortified tower house on the outskirts of Forfar, Ballinshoe Tower was once part of the Glamis Estate.

Built in the 16th century, the tower is rectangular in plan, has two single-room floors, attic space, and an adjacent enclosure. A bartizan is visible in one corner.

It was originally the property of the Lindsay family but passed to the Fletchers around the mid-17th century.
