Il castello di Carnasserie dopo la sua costruzione è stato solo leggermente modificato, in particolare verso la fine del [[XVII secolo]], e offre quindi un esempio piuttosto rappresentativo dell'architettura del [[XVI secolo]]. Nonostante la sua vicinanza all'estremità del [[Kilmartin Glen]], un punto di passaggio di una certa importanza strategica, l'edificio venne itconcepito waspiù designedcome moreresidenza fordomestica domesticche rathercome thanstruttura militaryad purposesuso militare.<ref>Walker, p.76</ref>

This is connected to a large drawing room in the tower house, which retains its stone floor and large fireplace with finely carved stone decoration.<ref name=schedule/> A broad stair rises from the entrance to the hall, contained in a small tower to the north-west. A second smaller stair leads up from the hall to the parapet walk on three sides of the tower house. Upper rooms would have contained bedrooms.

The exterior displays numerous "double keyhole" gunloops, as well as decorative string courses and corbelling. Over the entrance are blank panels framed by carved supports, as well as the arms of the 5th Earl of Argyll with the Gaelic motto DIA LE UA NDUIBHNE, "God be with O'Duine", referring to the semi-legendary ancestors of [[Clan Campbell]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://canmore.org.uk/site/22835/carnassarie-castle |title=Carnasserie Castle |work=Canmore |publisher=Historic Environment Scotland |accessdate=15 March 2017}}</ref> At the top of the tower are the remains of open rounds along the parapet, and a caphouse above the stair. Fragments of carved drain spouts have been found, and are on display in the cellars.
