The vaulted interior in the main block of this tower is of an unusually confused construction and arrangement. It may relate to the episode in 1572-4 when Alexander Ross of Balnagown was order to make good 'the doune casting of the battelit towr of Catboll' by building up the vaults again at an estimated cost of 500 merks.
