Skelmorlie Castle, Category B listed building in North Ayrshire, Scotland.
The red sandstone tower rises through three stories to a pitched roof with turrets adorning the wall head near the Firth of Clyde.
The tower house, dating from 1502, belonged to the Montgomery Clan and features alterations from 1636, including a circular angle tower with gun loops.
The basement contains vaulted cellars, while the hall above displays a grand fireplace that workers discovered following a structural renovation.
The castle underwent modifications in the nineteenth century, receiving a new entrance, enlarged windows, and changes to the wall structure.
The structure maintains an artificial mound called the Serpent Mound near its grounds, containing archaeological artifacts from ancient periods.
