Evelick Castle is a stepped L-plan tower-house of late 16th-century date. It consists of a main block and wing (11.2m by 7.35m and 6.3m by 6.2m respectively, over walls up to 1.3m thick at ground-floor level), and stands three storeys and an attic in height, with an entrance and stair extruded in a semi-circular tower in the SE re-entrant angle. The tower has been remodelled more than once and the provision of an additional two-storey range is indicated by tusking and openings in the E gable wall. A number of dressed stones, and the lintel for a fireplace, are incorporated in re-use in the early 18th-century farmhouse (now roofless) to the rear of the present steading, while in the steading itself, incorporated above a doorway, there is a dormer window pediment.
Evelick has been the property of the Lindsays since at least 1497.
