The bakehouse/kitchen of Fairburn house and tower. The lintel is barely tall enough to allow entry without stooping. The roof, though long gone, would have been extremely low compared to neighbouring house.

Small window and possible drain at entrance to the tower.

Tower is located in fertile farmland

The turrets look commanding against the sky. Lying on one side of the glen on flat land this house would have been visible for a long distance and speaks volumes about the class systems and hierarchy of the clan system of the time period.
