    House & Family History: The mock Tudor Kinloch is almost unchanged since the time of its construction in the opening years of the 20th century and still contains most of its original furniture and fittings. The fabric of the House is currently at risk; in response to this threat the Kinloch Castle Friends Association was formed in 1996 to raise awareness of the Castle. The plight of Kinloch was brought to the attention of the larger public when it was featured in the first BBC "Restoration" television series in 2003.
