History
The lands were owned by Andrew Kinninmond and his family before selling it to Sir Thomas Hope. Hope built the castle in 1637. In 1954, the old tower was removed after the castle's granary burnt down. The castle was in very poor condition and was demolished in 1957. Some portion of walls still remain.[3]
Architecture
Craighall Castle was built with rubble and stones. The walls are 1 metre to 1.3 metres thick. An old wall which is 10 metres long and 3.5 metres high still remains in the site.[3]

gollark: One proposal for backdooring encrypted messaging stuff was to have a way to remotely add extra participants invisibly to an E2Ed conversation. If you have that but without the "invisible" bit, that would work as "encryption with a backdoor, but then make it very obvious that the backdoor has been used" somewhat.
gollark: Not encryption itself, probably.
gollark: They don't seem to want to *ban* end-to-end encryption as much as backdoor the popularly used stuff. Which is still bad. I should finish writing that blog post on it some time this decade.
