Mearns Castle

Over in the west today, visiting my Auntie Nancy and parents. While in Newton Mearns I blipped the old keep of the castle.

The castle was originally a four-storey rectangular tower, and parts of the original corbelling remain. There is a vaulted basement room, approached from the main entrance. The first-floor hall, which is also vaulted, is approached by a straight mural stair; it has stone window seats, and once had a minstrels’ gallery. The original arched entrance is now walled up.

I hope everyone has had a good Saturday.
