What is recorded here

Kinkell Castle is a late 16th century tower house in Highland, Scotland, built for the MacKenzies of Gairloch. Its harled walls rise three storeys to a steep roof, with a circular stair tower at the south-east corner and gun-loops guarding the entrance. A defaced shield dated 1594 still sits above the hall fireplace. After years as a farm-house and desertion, Gerald Laing restored it from 1966, removing a later wing and returning the castle to life.
