(NO 2418 1098) Myres Castle (NR)
OS 6"map, Fife, 2nd ed., (1920)
Myres Castle, mainly modern, was originally a small 16th century house of three storeys and an attic which forms the SE corner of the modern building. The original building comprised an oblong main block, measuring externally 32 by 24ft, with two towers projecting from opposite corners and a corbelled-out turret at the NE angle. The wing immediately to the west may be contemporary or slightly later. There is a panel on the west side of the parapet dated '1612' or '1616'.

The upper part of the tower was constructed in 1616, on an existing building.
