Scope and Content Whitefield, tower-house, Perth and Kinross Dating to 1577, Whitefield tower-house, to the left, fell into ruin at the start of the 19th century when the slates and stone were removed and reused for the neighbouring farm buildings (right), seen in this aerial photograph. L-plan in shape, the tower-house stands three storeys in height with a stair-turret in the west corner giving access to the upper floors. The basement is divided into two barrel-vaulted rooms with a turnpike leading to the first-floor hall. Tower-houses were built in Scotland between the 14th and 17th centuries and were one of the simplest forms of fortified residence. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
