As it stood in 1581
The shape it held in its prime.
A narrow, square five‑storey stone tower (7.5 m square) with walls up to 1.6 m thick, each level originally a single room; a winding stair built into the wall thickness links floors. The basement is a low‑vaulted cellar with external access, the main entrance sits at first‑floor level above the ground, and the roofline is finished by a pyramidal cap‑house giving access to corbelled parapet walks. A corbelled oriel projects from the south gable and a dovecot is built into the north gable; a roughly enclosed barmkin lies to the south above the burn.
