The protestant reformer George Wishart was arrested from the tower and taken to St Andrews, where he was martyred.[1] He had been under the care of Alexander Crichton of Brunstane. The castle was burned in 1547,[1] allegedly by Lord Gray.[2] In 1632 John, Lord Maitland, acquired the property, which he extended.[1] StructureThe castle, which has two storeys and a garret, has a square stair tower, in the re-entrant angle.[2] The stair tower has a corbelled-out caphouse. Under the windows there are gun-loops. There is a large fireplace in the kitchen, which is in the basement. The Hall was on the first floor.[1] Over the doorway is an armorial panel.[3] There are still remains of the courtyard, with a square tower dated 1568.[1] The courtyard has a round-arched postern in the east wall.[3] The building is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 Coventry Martin (1997) The Castles of Scotland.
