| Description |
Built by Bishop David Hamilton during the period 1508-1512 using some of the stones of the nearby ruined Saddell Abbey, the castle was burnt by English raiders in 1538, but later reconstructed and enlarged. The castle has a convenient trap door placed in the main entrance passage which was activated to send unwanted visitors into a pit-prison which had no other exit. The castle is nowadays rented out as a self-catering property from the Landmark Trust. There are 2 single bedrooms, 2 twin rooms and 1 double room. Saddell water to the fore. |
