Moniack Castle, Category B listed castle in Kirkhill, Scotland

Moniack Castle features an L-plan tower house with harled walls, polished ashlar margins, and a symmetrical three-bay northwest facade with bowed bays.

The castle construction dates back to 1600, with architect James Smith adding a crenellated wallhead to the tower in 1804 and modifications between 1830 and 1840.

The interior contains a Roman Catholic chapel with Ionic pilastered reredos, demonstrating the religious practices of Scottish nobility through architectural elements.

The entrance at the tower base presents a square-headed doorway with moulded ashlar jambs, and visitors can observe iron window yetts from the original construction.

A wide wheel stair within the tower connects multiple floors at varying levels, creating an intricate vertical circulation system throughout the structure.
