At the SW corner of Bamff House (1828 and remodelled in 1844 by William Burn) there is a well-preserved late 16th-century tower-house. It is rectangular on plan and stands four storeys and an attic in height. Two horizontal gun-loops are incorporated at ground-floor level; the entrance-doorway has probably been on the NE and the stair most likely in the E angle. The basement, which is vaulted, is divided into two compartments and was originally served by a draw-well.
The Ramsays' have been in possession of Bamff since the reign of Alexander II (1214-49).
