Loudoun Castle, Category A listed building in East Ayrshire, Scotland
The castle features a symmetrical design with two-story towers at corners and a central three-story tower adorned with crenellated battlements and corbels.
The original structure from the 15th century underwent major modifications between 1804 and 1811, transforming it into a grand country house for Flora Mure-Campbell.
The burial vault, constructed in 1622 from Loudoun Kirk choir remains, contains the tombs of numerous Campbell family members, including the first Earl.
The ruins stand 1 mile northeast of Galston, accessible via a minor road east of A719, near the River Irvine in East Ayrshire.
A 300-pound stone from Loudoun Castle was presented to Loudoun County, Virginia during a ceremony featuring the Countess and the Queen's Rouge Dragon.
