Auchenbathie Tower, Medieval castle ruins in Lochwinnoch, Scotland
The stone tower structure stands 8.8 meters high with remaining walls measuring 3 meters in width at coordinates 55°46'30.4"N and 4°33'21.2"W.
The Wallace family of Elderslie owned this fortification since 1398, with potential connections to Sir Malcolm Wallace, father of Scottish hero William Wallace.
The tower's location near Wallace's Knowe hill connects to local tales of Sir William Wallace's defensive actions against English forces in medieval times.
Visitors can access information about the tower through the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland database for research purposes.
The ruins became a refuge for Saunders Wilson, a weaver who operated an illicit whisky distillery away from law enforcement in the early modern period.
