Knockderry Castle, Category A listed country house in Cove, Scotland
Knockderry Castle stands on Shore Road with its distinctive baronial architecture featuring Scottish design elements and stained glass windows throughout the structure.
Architect Alexander Thomson designed the original house in 1850, while William Leiper added substantial baronial modifications to the structure in 1897.
The castle reflects the architectural preferences of wealthy Scottish industrialists, as it was built for James Templeton, a textile manufacturer from Glasgow.
Following a 22-year legal dispute and subsequent sale in 2023, the castle requires extensive restoration work to address deterioration from years of neglect.
The property combines architectural elements from two notable Scottish architects, Thomson and Leiper, creating a fusion of different 19th-century design approaches.
