OS 6" map (1959)
A castle existed here since the 13th century but by the end of the 18th century the only parts remaining were part of the enclosing wall, with a tower at one end, and a portion of the chapel, which stood at the SW side of the courtyard.
By the end of the 19th century the old remains had been incorporated in the mansion which occupies the site.

Only the late 18th/early 19th NE wing of Lauriston Castle is occupied, the remainder, including the earlier work at the SW side detailed above, being unroofed and in danger of collapse. There is no trace of the chapel.
