Barony and Castle of Kilbirnie, Medieval tower house in Kilbirnie, Scotland
The Barony and Castle of Kilbirnie features thick stone walls measuring eight feet, incorporating vaulted ceilings at ground level and roof sections.
Built in the 15th century and expanded in 1627, the castle suffered extensive damage from a fire in 1757 caused by melted candle wax.
The castle represents the architectural evolution of Scottish nobility residences, combining a defensive tower house with later manor house extensions.
The structure remains in critical condition with limited access due to surrounding debris, while the original tower maintains stability through its construction.
The castle contains an underground pit prison and preserved fireplace, with remnants of multi-corbelled turrets that once extended above the main building.
