[1] The early 17th-century north range of the castle is now a separate fortified house and has been converted into a private residence.
That structure was destroyed by the Scrymgeours in 1492 and the current castle, built of pink and buff sandstone rubble, probably replaced it in the 16th century.
With the disappearance of the east range and the western boundary wall, the castle now appears as two separate buildings forming a courtyard.
[2] A National Trust for Scotland competition was later held to design a plan to restore the north range.
[4] The final layout of the main castle was as a two-storey rectangular Z-plan structure with round towers at the north east and south west corners.
