As it stood in 1880
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact, rectangular Scots baronial house of light-coloured stone or harled finish with steeply pitched gabled roofs and multiple tall, rectangular chimneys. Small corbelled corner turrets and short round pepper-pot bartizans punctuate the roofline. The main block rises directly from a high clipped garden wall with an arched pedestrian gateway; mature trees and formal garden beds cluster around the base. Roofs are slate; window openings are narrow and regularly arranged.
Its story
The story of Kilbryde Castle.
Kilbryde Castle lies on the A820 between Doune and Dunblane in southern Perthshire. The property was originally built by the Earl of Menteith in 1460; since 1659 it has belonged to the Campbells, and it was the home of Sir J. Campbell, baronet, in the mid-19th century. It is currently owned by Sir James and Lady Carola Campbell.
The castle owes its present Scots baronial appearance to the architect Thomas Heiton, who remodelled it in the late 1870s after the roof collapsed in 1877; it was refurbished again in the 1950s. Its extensive walled gardens are open to the public on selected days or by appointment.
