Muirhouse Castle was a square tower, the remains of which were removed by the farmer at Muirhouse, a Mr Blackie, around 1832. Nothing now remains on the original site of the castle, which is marked with trees in the corner of a field. However built into the garden of the present farmhouse is a red freestone inscribed with 'I P M P In Te Domine Speravi 1626'.
