The castle was surrounded at one time by a moat. Judging from the present ruins the building was rectangular in shape, having a square tower on the south-west… The castle appears to have been four storeys in height… There was once a spiral stair at the north-east corner of the building, and one also on the west side… The only entrance to the castle now intact is on the south and above the door-way there is a stone bearing the Royal Arms, and the letters, I R, A R, 1609. These are the initials of king James VI. and his Queen, Anne of Denmark, with both of whom Sir Duncan Campbell, the first baronet, was on friendly terms…
