Latheron Castle (2 of 2)
Canmore states that &quot;Latheron Mains farmhouse is built on the remains of part of Latheron Castle.&quot;  The farmhouse is the white painted cottage visible in the previous photo (and marginally visible at the top of this one).  

The castle was still standing in 1726 but a large section was blown down in a storm in 1911.  Old drawings on the Canmore website show a fang of masonry, a couple of meters high, standing about where the bushes are at the top of the bank, but is has clearly fallen since.  

Some in situ masonry can be seen at the bottom of the bank, close to the stream (the east wall of the tower), and the line of rubble extending up the bank must mark the north wall, but that appears to be it!
