Tour Scotland Photograph Cleish Castle

Tour Scotland photograph of Cleish Castle near Kinross, Perthshire, Scotland. A lofty five storey ashlar-faced tower standing on the northern slopes of the Cleish Hills. The main block measures 12m by 9m and has a wing measuring 6.2m by 8.5m the end walls of which rise in a series of external offsets. A reset dormer pediment has the initials of Robert Colville and Beatrix Haldane with the date of 1600 to which may be attributed much of the building, but the massively built two lowest levels of the main block with rounded angles are at least a century earlier. The molded doorway, now closed, is the re-entrant angle leading into the base of a spiral staircase, now removed, between the main block and the wing. A turret stair over the angle served the top two stories. The existing entrance at hall level reached by a forestair and most of the present windows date from after the total restoration of the castle from ruin in the 1840's. The main block basement vault was then removed or had already fallen. To the south was a court of which was the blocked entrance survives inside a modern outbuilding.
