Saltcoats Castle, 16th century castle in Gullane, Scotland
The castle features two linked five-story towers with rounded bases that transform into square structures at higher levels, connected by a large arch.
Patrick Livingstone initiated the construction of Saltcoats Castle in 1592, and the property remained inhabited until partial demolition occurred in 1820.
The castle includes a lectern-type dovecot with crow-stepped gables, measuring 17 by 15 feet, representing typical Scottish architectural elements of that period.
Located half a mile south of Gullane in East Lothian, the castle grounds contain remains of former gardens, an orchard, and a bowling green.
An oak bed crafted in 1598 for Margaret Fawside and Patrick Levingstoun of Saltcoats, decorated with their heraldry, survives at Biggar Museum.
