Scope and Content Keithick House, Perth & Kinross, from west This shows the north front of the house with the single-storeyed service courtyard on the left. The semicircular porch has circular and square Doric columns at each side of the entrance door and the two-storeyed block behind has a piended roof with a pedimented dormer. The courtyard has a large arched entrance with two bays at each side. The servants would enter the castle only via the arched entrance to the courtyard which was out of sight of the family and guests who would have used the entrance porch. The two bays and the semicircular bay window on the ground floor to the right of the porch contained the drawing room. The family had bedrooms on the first floor and the dormer in the attic allowed more natural light into a servant's room. Keithick House was designed by David Whyte and built for W E Collinswood between 1818 and 1823. David Bryce (1803-76) changed the porch and offices in 1839, and Maclaren, Soutar & Salmond made further alterations in 1926. Morant painted an Adam Revival decorative scheme in the drawing room.
