OS 6" map (1901)
Bamff House dates from various periods, but the nucleus appears to be a fairly simple free-standing tower probably of the late 16th Century. There may well have been still older work to the W where the remains of a moat are thought to lie.
Sixteen century gunloops face west at basement level, with an arrowslit window to the S. Iron bars have formerly guarded all windows. The Ramsays have been established here since 1232.
N Tranter 1963
The 16th century tower occupies the SW corner of the present Bamff House (otherwise of 19th century date) which is still the home of the Ramsays. There is no trace of a moat.
