Ballikinrain, Scottish Baronial castle in Killearn, United Kingdom
The grey stone castle features a prominent design with multiple dormers and stands beneath the Campsie Fells near the village of Killearn.
David Bryce designed Ballikinrain Castle in 1868 for Sir Archibald Orr-Ewing, who served as Member of Parliament for Dunbartonshire until 1892.
The castle functioned as a residential school for children with educational needs, managed by CrossReach, a Church of Scotland organization.
The structure maintains category B listed building status, indicating its architectural importance within Scotland's heritage preservation system.
A severe fire in 1913, attributed to suffragettes, caused £100,000 in damages and required three years of restoration work.
