Craigie Castle, Medieval castle ruins in South Ayrshire, Scotland
The remains display a 13th-century groin-vaulted hall house with chambers from the 15th century, situated 4 miles southeast of Kilmarnock.
The Lindsay family constructed the castle between 1230 and 1240, before John Wallace of Riccarton acquired it through marriage in 1371.
The castle maintains connections to Scottish independence through William Wallace, while the site includes carved panels and architectural elements from different periods.
The castle ruins stand near a minor road north of the B730, approximately one mile east of the junction with the A77.
The structure contained two courtyards protected by ditches and natural lochans, with underground vaulted chambers that later became wildlife habitats.
