Saddell Castle (3)
This is MacGibbon &amp; Ross' late 19th century floor plan of the castle.  It's a very typical oblong keep.  Changes were made immediately after their visit (when the laird at that time moved back in) and there have of course been more recent changes to suit modern living, but nothing extraordinary or in any way offensive!  

The vaulted ground floor rooms originally contained entresol floors.  The small stair leading to the private cellar, shown in the bottom left corner, has (I believe) been removed.  Not shown on this drawing is the hatch or trap door in the floor of the entrance lobby, which provided the only access to the castle's small and unlit pit or prison below.

The current kitchen / dining area is still where the kitchen originally was, on the 1st floor, with a small Hall next to it; above which there are 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor and 2 more and a bathroom on the top floor.  The kitchen fireplace is notably big, 5-1/2 feet deep with a bread oven and a niche for keeping the salt dry in its side walls.

The stair goes all the way to the parapet, where it ends in a cap-house.
