Haggs Castle, Category B listed building in Pollokshields, Glasgow, Scotland.
The L-plan tower structure rises four stories high with a main block measuring 17 meters by 7.2 meters, featuring carved decorations and cable-moulded string courses.
Sir John Maxwell of Pollok and Margaret Conyngham commissioned the construction of this tower house in 1585 to replace their previous residence, the Laigh Castle.
The Maxwell family, known for their nonconformist activities, maintained residence at Haggs Castle until 1753 when they relocated to the newly completed Pollok House.
The structure underwent multiple transformations, serving as a smithy, military facility, Museum of Childhood, and currently functions as a private residence.
The castle displays intricate carved stone decorations above its entrance, recording the names of its original builders and the construction date of 1585.
