It stands on a high ridge near Tranent and retains its four-storey keep form with attached turreted block and rubble barmkin wall. The building is privately owned and contains several bedrooms with tower accommodation.

As it stood in 1590
The shape it held in its prime.
Fa'side is an L-plan, four-storey stone keep with a later attached turreted block, finished in a pale harled (whitewashed) surface. The silhouette includes corbelled round bartizans capped by conical slate roofs, a crow-stepped gable, a re-entrant stair turret, and small square and slit windows set in stone surrounds. The castle sits on a grassy ridge within a low rubble barmkin wall; roofs are steep and the structure is complete and roofed in its prime.
