GLAMIS CASTLE 117 FOURTH PERIOD Theairum Scotice was presented by the Earl of Strathmore to Pennant, who describes the castle in accordance therewith as having " consisted of two long courts divided by buildings. In each was a square tower, and gate- way beneath ; and in the third another tower, which constituted the present house, the rest being totally destroyed." FIG. 579. Glamis Castle.
