Scope and Content Kingseat, tower-house, Perth and Kinross Central to the 19th-century south wing of Kingseat House are the remains of what may be a small tower-house. These consist of a block, 7.1m by 4.8m over walls 0.6m thick, two storeys and an attic in height. The gun-loop and four iron yetts built into the garden walls probably came from the original tower- house. Kingseat is depicted on the maps of Pont (c.1600) and Roy (1747-55), and a mansion is shown on Stobie's map (1783). Tower-houses were built in Scotland between the 14th and 17th centuries and were one of the simplest forms of fortified residence. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
