Torwood Castle, 16th-century castle near Torwood, Scotland.
The L-plan stone structure stands among trees with thick walls, an entrance tower, and multiple chambers spread across three levels.
Alexander Forrester commissioned the construction of the castle in 1566, as evidenced by a carved stone panel discovered near the site in 1918.
The castle represents the architectural traditions of Scottish nobility, featuring defensive elements combined with residential spaces typical of the period.
The Torwood Castle Trust maintains the structure and coordinates preservation efforts, with recent appointments of new trustees in 2021 and 2022.
The castle served as a strategic point during the 1585 rebellion when forces used it as a base for their planned assault on Stirling Castle.
