Kinkell Castle

Kinkell Castle is a Z-plan tower house dated 1594, featuring harled walls with dressed margins. The structure has three storeys and an attic, with a circular stair tower at the south-west corner that rises higher than the building itself. There is also a smaller circular stair turret that projects out at first floor level at the north-east corner. The west front has a regular three-bay arrangement of windows on the first and second floors, although the first floor lacks a central window; it also features three modern swept dormers. The east front displays irregular fenestration and includes two shotholes at the centre of the second floor.

A door with moulded architraves is located in the re-entrant angle with the south-west tower, and above this door is a moulded niche. The base course is prominent, and the ground floor is well-equipped with gunloops. Inside, there are two vaulted chambers and a vaulted passage on the ground floor, while the hall on the first floor features a large segmental arched fireplace that bears a defaced coat of arms and the date of 1594. The castle has crowstepped gables and a slated roof, with modern small-paned glazing. Surrounding the castle is a stone wall. Additionally, there is a studio cottage that is small, single-storey, and stone-built, with vents at the rear and modern windows at the front, also featuring a slated roof.
