Old ruinous and on private ground. An old tower house. It is badly cracking having lost mortar and part of outer leaf of west wall.
I mean, its a Castle so why not visit if you have the time. This one is behind a wall which careful considerate folk can figure out. There's a bird hide just along form the castle on the shore of the Loch. Can see all sorts from there. Respect other users , anglers etc.
A very small castle, I would say just a tiny tower actually on the bank of Harperrig reservoir. Unfortunately it's closed and not in good condition. It's interesting its position anyway dominating the whole lake. I would like to find more information on site regarding its history. Mysterious building!
A peaceful place and a great starting point for am adventure into the Pentlands or a walk around the reservoir.
it is more a place intended for weddings and various receptions, when it comes to this castle, it is on a private property and cannot be visited because it is a ruin
Got some pictures of the scenery and cairns castle but its on private property so could not view the inside or stay long as the landowner didn't want me there. Overall was very disappointed.
The tower remaining only merits two stars as there are few interesting details, but there's a bonus star for the lakeside setting and the beautiful flooded landscape around the nextdoor bridge.
