Scope and Content Detail of carved panel at main entrance to Dunderave Castle, Argyll and Bute Dunderave Castle, dating to the late 16th century, was a four-storeyed L-plan tower. Occupied until the early 19th century, it then became a roofless shell. In 1911-12 it was restored and extended by Sir Robert Lorimer for Sir Andrew northoble of Ardkinglas. Above the original 16th-century entrance is this sandstone panel. It bears a square arch in relief and is decorated with dog-tooth ornament, similar to that around the door below, and billet ornament, consisting of small blocks at regular intervals. It is thought the panel, and other parts of the ornament around the door were designed for other houses and simply reused at Dunderave. Stylistically, their links are with earlier buildings of the 1570s and 80s, such as Blairquhan House, Ayrshire. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
