Trabboch Castle, L-plan tower house ruins in East Ayrshire, Scotland.
The remaining walls of Trabboch Castle measure 2.5 meters in thickness and stand 3 meters high in an L-shaped configuration.
King Robert the Bruce granted the castle to the Boyds of Kilmarnock following their service at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
The castle served as the administrative center of its barony, with archaeological evidence suggesting the presence of a ceremonial moot hill.
The castle ruins feature a natural defensive ditch on the western side and remain accessible for historical research and documentation.
A flagstone-covered burial discovered near the castle contained ancient beads and mysterious black residue.
