The Motte at Tarbolton was set at the rear left-hand side of the Bailey. In this view, the foreground shows the edge of the Motte, where the lord's home would have been sited. Beyond this is a flat area with a rounded outline, which was the Bailey. This would have been the location of essential services for the house or tower on the Motte. Beyond the Bailey, the ground slopes away steeply to the current B744, tucked away out of sight in this view.
