Description

Earlier 19th century, considerable additions. Irregular U-plan court comprising 3-storey domestic tower house, stables, kennels and various outbuildings in a picturesque, castellated style. Grey and buff rubble, red sandstone ashlar dressings, slate roofs. Sash and case, and casement windows, some latticed; ashlar-coped skews and

crowstepped gables.

FRONT ELEVATION: curtain wall to centre contrived to appear ruinous at parapet, pointed-arch entrance, arrow-slit openings; tower house to left with saddleback-roofed stair tower and lower lean-to.

Statement of Interest

The 1837 estate map shows evidence of buildings on this site, presumed to be the older parts of the present complex; the 1st edition of the OS map (1864) appears to show the buildings in their present form. The

Towers is an integral part of the Dougarie hunting lodge group, but differs markedly in style from the kennels at Brodick Castle (also listed), another property developed by the Dukes of Hamilton.
