As it stood in 1660
What Bognie Castle looked like in its prime.
At its prime (c.1660) the building presented as a compact rectangular four‑storey stone tower house with a vertical blocky silhouette. Constructed of pale grey/cream rubble sandstone, its full-height masonry walls formed a single tall mass with regular floor levels implied by the former height. It stood isolated on gently rolling pasture with small copses and open farmland around; no extended curtain walls are evident in the modern view.
