Scope and Content Drawing showing reconstructed detail of wall-head at Carnassarie Castle, Argyll and Bute Built 1565-72 for John Carswell, Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, Carnassarie Castle was remodelled in the late 17th century, and was in ruins by 1844. In 1932, it was placed in the care of the Office of Works (now Historic Scotland) and has been repaired. This is a reconstruction of the parapet wall-walk with a carved drain-spout which would have allowed rainwater to drain off the parapet walk. The walk itself is composed of interlocking slabs of stone. The carved drain-spout is now held in a ground-floor vaulted cellar at the castle, along with a number of other architectural fragments which have been retrieved from the site.
