Description

Belonged to the Campbells of Loudoun; towards the end of

17th century occupied by Captain Inglis and used as a prison

for the Covenanters; now forms an adjunct to the inn and

contains stabling with hay lofts above - Entrance on ground

floor and wheel-stair beside it; externally marked by somewhat

unusual features of two string-courses and a base; doorway

has been enlarged but panel over it is original; the tower

seems to have had an open parapet with bartisans at the angles all supported on a series of continuous corbelling; gargoyles for water remain on the south-east bartisan.
