Tilquhillie Castle is a well-preserved Z-plan tower-house said to have been built by John Douglas in 1576. It comprises three rectangular blocks, the corners of which are rounded off and corbelled out to the eaves level, and the gables are crow-stepped. The entrance and principal stair are placed in the SE re-entrant angle to the S of the central block, and a secondary stair is corbelled out in the corresponding angle to the N of the central block. The rooms on the ground floor are all barrel-vaulted. The Douglas arms are set in a panel above the entrance.
(The castle is very closely surrounded by trees which abut the building making modelling of all the structure difficult)
