The name on plaque of castle ruins has "In memory of Baroness Horsbrugh ". I suggest, park in front of pub & then cross road & take track alongside clear running brook . From there you will have to make your own way up the grassed slope to the ruins . Definitely worth the hike to take in the history & the 360 deg. views at the top . Take a few photos & then go back this time towards the road (a much easier slope) .You may have to hurdle a small fence though to get back to your car , but no big deal , & you get to take more photos with ruins in background. I'm sure if your name is spelt similar or same as Horsburgh you are probably related , as over the centuries names often got misspelled. Graeme & Maxine Handley (nee. Horsburgh )Also check out...
