castle |
Elcho is obviously a z-plan castle, with a small round tower on the right
At one time, the castle was sited near the shore of the loch, but the water level has long since been lowered. The overgrown gardens in the rear of the castle used to be a boat launch, with the water level up nearly level with the tower.
A ruined gatehouse or watchhouse on the outer wall, now long crumbled
The deep garden grotto behind the castle, originally a boat launch when the loch was higher
