Scope and Content Squint in stair, entrance lobby, Kinkell Castle, near Conon Bridge, Highland Kinkell Castle was built after 1582 when the surrounding lands passed to John Mackenzie of Gairloch. It was extended in about 1700, probably lowered by one floor in 1770, altered in 1855 by William Munro, and finally restored in 1969-70 by Gerald Laing. This shows an opening in the underside of the stair above the entrance lobby, possibly a peep-hole to observe incomers. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
