Ochiltree Castle, 16th-century tower house in West Lothian, Scotland.
The three-storey L-plan castle features circular bartizans at the southeast and northwest corners, with detailed architectural elements on its second storey level.
Sir James Hamilton of Finnart acquired the estate in 1526 following the execution of Stirling of Keir, marking a significant change in ownership.
The castle displays monograms of Sir Archibald Stirling of Keir and Dame Grizel Stirling above the doorway, representing Scottish nobility traditions.
Located three miles southeast of Linlithgow, the castle remains a private residence without public access, maintaining its original function as a dwelling.
The structure underwent substantial modifications around 1610, including the addition of a new doorway on the western face and construction of a strait staircase.
