NO 5200 0522 A programme of building recording and analysis was carried out 4 February – 3 March 2011 during structural repairs on a doorway within Kellie Castle. The work exposed a disused fireplace, with its hearth slab, lintel, relieving arch and flue, two plaster-lined presses back-to-back in the thickness of the wall, and different schemes of painted wooden panelling on either side of the wall, with details of joinery, reuse of timbers, and successive paint schemes including simulated woodgrain and marble, and trompe l’oeuil effects. The panelling was generally of softwood, rough sawn behind and planed on the front, fixed with handmade iron nails. There were also oak dooks set in the wall, perhaps surviving from an earlier scheme now lost.
