Hey, Willie Winkie, are ye comin' ben? The cat's singin' grey thrums to the sleepin hen, The dog's speldert on the floor and disnae gie a cheep - But here's a waukrif laddie that wanna fa' asleep.'

Ownership of a tower house was a crucial status symbol for a powerful nobleman in the late 14th-century Scotland. No wonder then that Sir William Keith, already Marischal of Scotland and hence one of the King's principal officers, decided to build one as a monument to his power.

The great door used to be even greater - it was reduced in the 17th century. The path to the main entrance is dominated by a knife-edge ridge which used to have a low wall round the edge. Then, as any attacker prepared a battering ram to stave in the great door, the warriors on the parapet would have an assortment of boulders, arrows and boiling liquids available to make the task more challenging.
