Incorporated at the rear of Blackcraig Castle, a mansion of 1856, there are the remains of a substantial tower-house. It stands three storeys in height and has a stair-tower extruded on the NW; the masonry is of lime-mortared random rubble and is readily distinguished from its 19th-century ashlar superstructure. Blackcraig was probably the property of the Maxwells who were is possession of the barony of Ballmacreuchy by 1550 (Retours 1811-16)
