Wester Kames Castle (name verified) has been much restored and is now in use as a private residence. It is 11.5m NW-SE by 6.5m with a stair and watch tower (as described by Tranter) on the NW angle. There are doorways in the NW and SE sides. The pre-1905 building line is denoted by a line of thin red bricks (D Marshall, Kames Garden Cottage, Port Bannatyne).

Surveyed at 1/2500.
