The shape it held in its prime.
An L‑plan stone tower house with an attached 19th‑century Baronial wing, forming a clear L‑shaped footprint on the riverbank; the original tower block rises as a multi‑storey masonry volume while the later wing extends from one side. The castle sits at the northeast end of Strathglass where the Erchless Burn joins the River Beauly, its massing visible from the water and low approach roads, the exterior finished in traditional stone masonry and roofed in period roofing materials.
