Wester Kames Castle, of late 16th century date, is oblong on plan, 25ft by 21ft. It was long ruinous, but underwent a major restoration in 1905, so that the upper storeys are modern though they probably represent the original appearance. It stands four storeys high, with a circular stair tower projecting to the NW, one storey higher, where it is corbelled out to form a gabled watch-chamber. The windows, where original, have simple roll-mouldings and are small. There are a number of shot-holes.
