Craufurdland Castle, the ancient seat of the Crawfords of Craufurdland, has been built at different periods. The central part is a Gothic castle style mansion, built about 1830-40. The W wings of the mansion incorporates a small tower of probable late 15th or early 16th century date, three storeys and an attic in height. The E wing, two storeys high, was built in the 17th century; it contains a fein ornamental ceiling dated 1648.

The tower protrudes 4m from the SW wall of the mansion. The E wing, a plain, much-restored 17th century building, is occupied and in good condition.
