 THIRD PERIOD 308 BADENHEATH entire, is finely moulded, of the style so frequently used in Scotland, as at Ruthven, Cardoness, Craigmillar, and other castles, while the little that is left of the windows, both inside and outside, with the corner turrets, corbelling, and stone cornice inside, show that this must have been a superior tower of its class. It measures 42 feet by 30 feet 6 inches over the walls, which are from 6 feet to 7 feet thick, and four stories high. Fio. 263. Badenheath. Entrance Doorway. Adjoining the entrance doorway in the west wall, the wheel stair led to the first floor, where it terminated in the usual manner. In the south gable of the hall is the fireplace, already referred to, and adjoining it another wheel stair led to the upper floor and to the top. The southern room on the ground floor remains entire with its vaulted roof, and is lighted by three long narrow slits. In one corner will be seen on plan a small mural chamber on the floor level, 6 feet long by 3 feet 9 inches wide, and from 3 feet to 4- feet high, which was probably a sleeping-place.
