Duntarvie Castle, Category A listed country house in West Lothian, Scotland.
The building features a rectangular three-story main block with square four-story towers at each end, incorporating stone balustrades on flat roofs.
James Durham received the lands in 1588 and constructed the castle while serving as Chamberlain for Linlithgowshire under royal appointments.
The building exemplifies Scottish Renaissance architecture through its symmetrical layout, tall stair-turrets, and stone-roofed cap-houses that define the period.
The castle underwent restoration work in 1994, but structural issues emerged when part of the east tower collapsed in January 1995.
The castle contains an unusual straight staircase connecting the ground and first floors, departing from typical architectural patterns of the period.
