History, description and plan.

W D Simpson 1952 (Official Guide).

Stirling's Tower, the oldest part of the castle is said to take its name from the Stirlings of Glenesk, who are said to have built and occupied it (but since the tower is 16th century and the property passed from the Stirlings to the Lindsays about 1357, this is impossible).
