May 25th photograph of Dowhill Castle near Kinross, Scotland. The original early 16th century tower was the eastern extended oblong block forming a 'palace' of late 16th century and early 17th century date. On the north side of the castle was a barmkin of which only the shell of a round tower remains. The upper part of this tower was used as a doocot. This Scottish castle was a former stronghold of the Lindsays of Dowhill, descended from Sir William Lindsay, half-brother of 1st Earl of Crawford. William Adam acquired Downhill 1740 and left it to his son Robert 1748.
