Tulloch Castle

No Class (event) (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Tulloch Castle is a modern house built 1918-23 around the surviving basement of an early sixteenth-century tower, marked by visible gun-loops and lights in its harled masonry. It stood ruinous after a fire about 1850, then reappeared through restoration, carrying layers from a supposed thirteenth-century origin through repairs in 1513, additions in 1675 and 1762, and later designs by Robert Adam and Sir Robert Lorimer. The castle may have begun as a defensive tower, become a ruined landmark, and been reborn as a domestic building, while the nearby Mains of Tulloch still displays a dormer pediment bearing the initials AD, perhaps rescued from the older house.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Tulloch Castle as No Class (event) (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Tulloch Castle, located in Scotland, was built by the Tulloch family in the 16th century. It is remembered for its historical association with the Clan Tulloch and as a symbol of local clan heritage in the region.
