Background
Architecture
The tower house, of three storeys and a garrett has been greatly altered. The entrance, which is now enclosed by a modern building, is defended by a gunloop. The vaulted basement has a kitchen in it. There is a turnpike stair in the wing, above a pit-prison. The measurements of the L-plan tower are 11.3 m (from east to west) by 7 m, with the wing being 12 m (from north to south) by 5 m. A 10th century Picto-Scottish slab carved in relief with an angel, clerics, musicians and a dog, which may well have stood in a nearby field until it was used to repair the staircase, {perhaps in 1678} is used as a lintel on the first flight of the staircase from the ground floor to the mezzanine.
