Hill of Beith Castle, Medieval castle ruins in North Ayrshire, Scotland
The foundation walls of squared masonry remain at the site, positioned on elevated ground overlooking the former location of Loch Brand.
The Tironensian monks of Kilwinning Abbey received the castle and surrounding lands from Sir William de Cunninghame during the early 14th century.
The castle served as a central point for medieval justice administration, with its court hill mound still present near Boghall House.
The castle foundations are accessible through local walking paths, with detailed directions available through the National Library of Scotland's mapping services.
The monks of Kilwinning Abbey initiated legal proceedings in 1482 regarding damages to the adjacent Loch Brand, which no longer exists today.
