“The castle was acquired by the Town Council in 1952. In 1957, an early 17th-century painted timber ceiling was discovered; it is now in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.[1] The ceiling includes the initials ‘SRM’ for ‘Sir Robert Melville of Murdocairney’ and emblems copied from the Devises Heroïques of Claude Paradin.[4] The council threatened to demolish the property, which had been allowed to deteriorate, but it was saved after a public inquiry in 1972. It was bought in 1975 by the architecture firm Robert Hurd & Partners, who restored it and retain the building as their offices. It is a category B listed building.”
