Scope and Content View of south-east tower of Kilcoy Castle, Ross and Cromarty Kilcoy Castle was built c.1620 by Alexander Mackenzie, fourth son of the Baron of Kintail. It is a Z-plan tower-house built of red sandstone, with a variety of angle turrets, gun loops, armorials, pedimented dormers and corbelled turrets (bartizans). This view shows the south-east tower, which is rounded at the bottom, but corbelled out to a square tower at the top. To the left of the tower can be seen the curve of a turnpike stair, which is also corbelled near to the bottom. The castle was restored and re-roofed in 1890 by Inverness architects, Alexander Ross and Robert John Macbeth, and is an early example of a sympathetic restoration when it was more fashionable to rebuild. Further restoration work was carried out in 1968. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
