Dunglass Castle, Medieval castle in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland.
The stone castle stands on a rocky cliff next to the River Clyde, featuring a boundary wall measuring 8 meters high and a round tower.
Built in 1380 as the main fortress for the Barony of Colquohoun, the castle endured an attack from Lord Fleming's soldiers of Dumbarton Castle in 1569.
The castle interior underwent transformation in 1893 under graphic artist Talwin Morris, followed by renovations from Charles Macdonald and Mackintosh.
The castle remains stand in ruins and are listed as high risk on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland, requiring careful preservation measures.
The castle grounds contain an obelisk memorial dedicated to Henry Bell, marking the achievements of this early steamship pioneer.
