Archaeology Notes

(NS 7636 9861) Arnhall Castle (NR) (Remains of).

OS 6" map (1958)

Arnhall Mansion is a small, square, roofless tower having turrets at its angles, bearing the date 1617. The attached buildings and walls of a small court have been converted into cattle sheds. An addition is said to have been made in 1680. The mansion is stated to have been the dowager-house of the Duchess of Athole.

J S Fleming 1902

Arnhall Castle (Mr Baird, factor, Keir Estate Office, Keir House), constructed on the L-plan is roofless and the walls, 0.9m thick, are dilapidated. No date-stone was seen but there is an indecipherable inscribed stone over the entrance, on the south side.

To the east of the main block, and of similar construction, are the remains of a row of outbuildings, probably contemporary.
