NH 979 578. Internal and external elevations of the courtyard to the N of the Z-plan tower house were made by Kirkdale Archaeology during March 1996, prior to the harling of the stonework. All features were recorded by photogrammetry and scale drawing. It was apparent that the ideals of the original and eventual architects differed, in that the former, William Burn, intended for the stonework to be covered by harling, whereas the latter, James Wylson, used well-dressed stone, indicating his desire that the stonework remain exposed. A letter from James Wylson to William, 22nd Brodie of Brodie, dated 9th February 1846, further indicates his preference for well-dressed, exposed stonework.
