House of Schivas

[2] The north-east tower, three storeys high, was added in about 1750, by the Forbeses,[3] and a western extension to the main block in 1780.

A wide circular stair tower projecting from the north front of the main block gives access to all floors, while a stair tower in the re-entrant angle rises from the first floor level.

[1] The wing is offset to the east a little, probably to give additional protection to the entrance of the re-entrant angle.

The main doorway has four groups of shot holes of differing forms around it.

[1] The hall is panelled in sequoia wood,[2] and has aumbries, a garderobe and a chapel recess with a crucifix and the monogram I.H.S.
