Abstract: This report describes excavations carried out within the basement of the ruined north-east tower (1984) and at courtyard level to the immediate east of the tower house (1995) at Craignethan Castle.The former was originally a kitchen but was remodelled at some stage, perhaps to a brewhouse.There was evidence that a range of buildings had been planned for the east side of the inner courtyard but that quite early in the development of the castle (built c 1530) it was abandoned in favour of the impressive tower house.The project was funded by Historic Scotland and its predecessor, Historic Buildings and Monuments.
