Excavations at Sauchie Tower, Clackmannanshire ProcSocAntiq Scot, (1997)7 12 , 843-853 Excavation t Sauchisa e Tower, Clackmannanshire John Cannell* & John Lewisf ABSTRACT Excavations were carried out in 1984 and 1985 within the ground-floor chambers, the kitchen at entresol level and the first-floor hall of this 15th-century tower, prior to its restoration as a domestic residence. addition,In trenching outside towerthe revealed traces leastof at lean-to one buildingand outflowthe oflatrinea chute against northits wall; and, further north, remnants ofbarmkina wall. The excavation was funded Historicby Scotland (former SDD/HBM). INTRODUCTION Sauchie Tower (NGR: NS 896 957) stands near the right bank of the River Devon, 3 km north of Alloa in Clackmannanshire (illus 1). It is thought to have been built by one James Schaw, 'Comptroller to the King' (RCAHMS 1933,312), some time between 1430 and 1440 (MacGibbon & Ross 1887, 270), and bears close comparison with the secondary wing of nearby Clackmannan Tower (RCAHMS 1933, 309, 316). About 25 m west of the tower, and just inside a defensive ditch which is still visible, can be traced the remnants of a barmkin wall into which the residential successor to the tower was incorporated in 1631 (ibid, 311). This house had two storeys and a round tower (perhaps originally an element of the enclosure wall) projecting from its north-west corner. Later still a cottag buils ewa t agains souts it t h gable. Both buildings were demolishe 1930c n di , leaving only traces of the west face of the 17th-century house and its tower.

The spur is cut off from the east, west and south by the ravines of the Burns of Care and Sorrow, whilst the Ochil Hills overlook it from the north. The castle has splendid views southward over the Forth valley. The site may be of some antiquity but the present castle complex most probably dates from the early 15th century. Initially called Castle Gloom, it became the Lowland residence of the Campbell earls of Argyll around 1465 – whence the name Castle Campbell. It remained with that powerful noble family until the 9th earl relocated to Argyll’s Lodging, Stirling, in the mid-17th century. Thereafter, the castle fell into ruin. The Campbell earls substantially rebuilt the lofty tower house that dominates the complex, then added a once-splendid but now substantially ruined hall range across the courtyard c.
