Scope and Content South front, 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 is the south front of the west block of the castle's Z-shaped layout. The circular stair-tower provides access to all floors and rises above the present roof level. This is consistent with a family tradition that the top storey was removed in 1770. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
