 FIRST PERIOD 76 INVERLOCHY CASTLE were provided with loops to light the staircases and upper rooms ; but these are now represented only by holes in the walls, the freestone dress- ings being torn out. There is, however, a portion of one loop left in the north-east tower, showing that they were narrow slits, splayed on the outside, with a round termination or oilet at the bottom. The donjon was probably higher as well as larger than the other towers, as we shall see was usually the case.
