Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Mearns Castle & Maxwell Mearns Church. The Maxwells of Caerlaverock tower rises to four storeys and it was partially once enclosed by a wall, with a moat. These details were spelt out in a document by King James II in 1449, when the monarch granted a license to erect a castle with these specific requirements: to build a castle or fortalice in the barony of Mearns in Renfrewshire, to surround and fortify it with walls and ditches to strengthen it by iron gates and to erect on top of it all warlike apparatus necessary for its defense. The castle has a vaulted basement and a vaulted first floor hall. |
