Remains of castle. The amorphous footings of a wall are all that remains of the castle within the remains of a moat, of which the whole of the north side and part of the east side survive. Part of the west side is filled with debris and its course is still visible, but the remainder of the moat is completely ploughed out. Where best preserved in the north it shows maximum depth of 1m and width 7m, with its inner side retained by a revetting wall, now largely destroyed. The stones of the castle were used to build the farm at Mains of Glenfarquhar circa 1860 (NO78SW0053). Above the stable door of the Mains is a stone inscribed SAF 1674 DHG, and dated 1857, which came from the castle. According to Crammond, the stone was erected by Sir Alexander Falconer in 1674.
