Scope and Content Keithick House, Perth & Kinross, from north-west This shows the north front of the single-storeyed service courtyard with a three-storeyed tower of the main house on the right. The courtyard has a large arched entrance and two bays with blind rectangular recesses above at each side. The two bays on the left are also blind and the bay on the right on the ground floor has been boarded up. The servants would enter the castle only via the arched entrance to the courtyard which was out of sight of the family and guests in the main house. The tower contained the servants' hall on the ground floor and was where the servants would have eaten their meals. There were servant bedrooms on the second floor and a family bedroom on the first floor of the tower. 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.
