17th century occupied by Captain Inglis and used as a prison

for the Covenanters; now forms an adjunct to the inn and

contains stabling with hay lofts above - Entrance on ground

floor and wheel-stair beside it; externally marked by somewhat

unusual features of two string-courses and a base; doorway

has been enlarged but panel over it is original; the tower
