Hunterston Castle, Medieval castle in North Ayrshire, Scotland.
The castle features a late 12th-century tower with a barrel-vaulted basement, connected to an 18th-century manor house addition.
King David I of Scotland granted the estate to the Norman French Hunters in the 12th century, establishing their 900-year residency.
The Baronial Hall displays the Hunter coat of arms, the family's replica Hunterston Brooch, and their oldest document, The Charter.
Visitors can reach the castle via the A78 north of West Kilbride, following stone pillars marked Hunterston Estate.
The castle's tower contained a medieval toilet facility called the Garde Robe, with access through the main staircase entrance.
