Not to be confused with [Bodiam Castle](/source/Bodiam_Castle).

**Boddam Castle** is a ruined castle in [Boddam](/source/Boddam,_Aberdeenshire), [Aberdeenshire](/source/Aberdeenshire), on the coast of north-east Scotland. It was thought to have been built in the early 16th century as a seat for the [Keiths of Ludquharn](/source/Keith_baronets#Keith_baronets,_of_Ludquharn_(1629)). It is a [scheduled monument](/source/Scheduled_monument) and was a [Category B listed](/source/Category_B_listed) structure until its listed status was removed in 2015 due to dual designation.[1][2] Only slight remains survive, chiefly parts of a gatehouse with a semi-circular moulded archway and a window with a relieving arch above.[2]

Parts of the castle's cannons were still lying sunk in the bank as late as 1776.[3]
