Craigend Castle, Category C listed mansion ruins in Mugdock Country Park, Scotland.
Craigend Castle features a seven-bay elevation with a square-plan tower to the south and an octagonal tower positioned on the eastern side of the structure.
The mansion was constructed in 1812 by Alexander Ramsay, following designs from James Smith of Jordanhill, within lands that belonged to the barony of Mugdock.
The building represents the Gothic architectural movement of early 19th century Scotland with its droved ashlar stonework, corbelled parapets, and detailed tracery windows.
The structure stands within the 700-acre Mugdock Country Park, accessible via Craigallian Road, and remains open for historical exploration despite its deteriorated condition.
The central entrance displays a porte cochere flanked by small octagonal towers and segmental arches, demonstrating the refined architectural details of 19th-century Scottish mansions.
