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.
