Circa 1609. Ruined castle, of which only the east corner of
the north wall survives above ground level. Its height,
dressed quoins, an elliptical gun port, a rectangular window
opening and a rubble pile on its south side distinguish it
from the garden wall. Incorporated with rubble-built garden
walls, around rectangular enclosure, probably built or
rebuilt in 1817. Entered from the south, immediately to west
of castle, by a segmental-arched gateway with wrought-iron
gates. 3 carved stones above; central rectangular with
acroterion pediment and apex urn is inscribed "WC, CH" and
dated 1817; flanking pediment shaped stones have ball
finials; and were probably removed from the castle. Stone to
left is inscribed "WH, IB, Anno 1669"; that to right is
patterned with triangular and circular motifs. Central
gateway and some square beehive recesses in north wall.
NSA suggests 1661 as possibly the date of alterations or <>
acquisition of estate by Hamilton of Ardoch.
