Abstract: |
Balhousie Castle was built as an L-plan tower house in 1631 for the Hay family, and extensively enlarged in the baronial style about 1863. For many years it has been the Headquarters and Regimental Museum of the 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment, The Black Watch, latterly The Black Watch Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland. Plans to extend and enhance the museum involve the demolition of a late 19th-century annexe, also in the baronial style, latterly used as staff accommodation and storage. A photographic record survey was required in advance of demolition. This showed many design details, and how the annexe was made to harmonise in style with the castle. Original fabric is preserved in various parts of the castle, including examples of hand-made muff window glass. A watching brief will follow, on below-ground excavations, and demolitions impinging on historic fabric. |
