(NO 4931 0269) Kilconquhar House (NAT)

OS 6" map (1938)

Kilconquhar Castle: A characteristic specimen of a Scottish turreted castle of the L-plan. It was surrounded by a mound and ditch, remains of which existed to the 19th century.

A large modern mansion surrounds the old building on all sides except the SW. Viewing from the north towards the re-entrant angle, a good illustration of the 17th century Scottish style can be seen.

D MacGibbon and T Ross 1892

The S of the house is late 16th century, hemmed in by modern extensions, modernised internally, and considerably altered externally.

RCAHMS 1933, visited 1927

As described. There is no trace of the bank and ditch surrounding the house.
