It is now however greatly enlarged and modernised by additional buildings but the castellated form is preserved.

Here the Chevalier St George Son of James II, slept, Jany [January] 7. 1716, on his way from Glasgow to Scone, where he was proclaimed King - In 1746 the castle was completely ransacked by the Government troops The fortalice demolished, and a great part of the building razed to the ground, in consequence of the attachment of the Thriepland Family to the cause of the unfortunate house of Stewart.
