The castellated and domestic architecture of Scotland, from the twelfth to the eighteenth century . urse round the tower at the level of the main eaves is not of theordinary form, although details somewhat similar are to be found insome of the castles. The gable is finished with plain skews, and hasan iron finial on the top. Fig. 1196 is a view of the doorway of Trinity Hall, being all that isnow left of the building, which was taken down in 1845. The doorwaywas preserved and re-erected on its present site. The lower part, forminga kind of pedestal, with chamfered corners, appears to be modern
