Claypotts Castle is a well-preserved Z-plan tower house. It consists of a rectangular main block of three storeys and a garret, and two large round towers, crowned with square gabled chambers, at opposite corners. Two smaller stair towers rise in two of the re-entrant angles between the main block and round towers. The walls are pierced by gunloops and shot-holes, and the tower has corbiestepped gables. The tower has its original timber roof.
