Saddell Castle (4)
This shot shows the cap-house over the stair-head to the right, and the crenellated parapet wall, which at 4 feet 8 inches, Tranter says is unusually high!  The parapet and open-rounds on the tower's corners are supported by massive corbelling, arranged in a chequer pattern, the corbels below the open-rounds having gaps between them to form machicolations through which missiles could be dropped on the heads of the unwelcome!
