Wester Kames Castle dates from around 1500, and was once the seat of the Spens family. By 1895 it formed part of the Marquess of Bute's estate, and only the ground floor was standing. The 3rd Marquess of Bute commissioned the architect Robert Weir Schultz to rebuild the tower in 1897. The junction of the original ruin and the 19th-century rebuilding is marked by a line of brickwork. Schultz' attention to detail was delivered in a sympathetic restoration, resulting in a convincing Baronial tower.

The tower stands four storeys high, with a five-storey stair tower at the northwest. Wester Kames is a Category A listed building.

The accommodation comprises four bedrooms located on the upper floors with the principal bedroom occupying the fourth floor exclusively. The cosy kitchen with AGA, dining room and utility room are located on the ground floor and the formal drawing room occupies the entire first floor, benefitting from a splendid fireplace with woodburning stove and incredible views over Kames Bay.

Wester Kames Castle is surrounded by open countryside and is in close proximity to the sea. The garden is around 2 acres in size and is mainly laid to lawn.
