Scope and Content Photographic copy of perspective sketch of Kellie Castle, Fife, from south-east This drawing was made in 1888 by Robert Lorimer (1856-1929), Professor James' son and the famous architect. It shows a detailed view of the castle with its attached office and stables. The castle displays a number of Scots Baronial features, including crowstepped gables, dormer windows and round turrets, called bartizans. Robert Lorimer carried out some of his first architectural work at Kellie Castle, designing the formal garden, the garden house and dovecot. Some of the interior work, including some bedroom furniture was also designed by Lorimer. Kellie Castle, built between the 15th and 17th centuries, was uninhabited during most of the 19th century. In the 1870s, the castle was let to Professor James Allan Lorimer (1818-90) on an improving lease. The Lorimer family restored the castle and laid out fine gardens. The castle was sold to The National Trust for Scotland in 1970, and is now open to the public. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
