Originally built in an L-plan layout, it was later extended to include a three floor block which included a round tower at one of the corners.[1] Situated just east of the village of Letham,[2] the castle is now primarily used as a hotel which also caters to weddings.[3]

When the Chinese real state company MDJM Ltd completed its acquisition on 26 June 2023, it was announced that the 14th century tower house had undergone a renovation process and got the chance to offer weddings with 180 guests.[4][5]
