Remains of castle. Date of earliest castle is unknown, but it was reported to be very plain, and similar to many other late 17th Century tower-houses. A lofty central round tower, containing a staircase, was its principal feature. Considerable additions and alterations in the 18th and 19th Centuries maintained the original style of the building, but elaborate reconstruction in mid 19th Century has given it the appearance of an old Scottish castellated mansion. After being requisitioned during the Second World War, it was unroofed in 1953. The castle is now a roofless shell. Little can be recognised of the original structure except for a rolled moulded arch, and the ruins of barrel vaulted cellars bounded on the north and east by very thick walls, the latter probably being those of the original tower-house.
