Sundrum Castle, Medieval tower house in Coylton, Scotland
The stone fortress rises along the Water of Coyle river with thick defensive walls measuring three meters and narrow windows on multiple levels.
Sir Duncan Wallace, Sheriff of Ayr, received the land from King David II in 1370 and built the initial structure of Sundrum Castle.
The castle stands as a Category B listed building, representing the architectural traditions of Scottish tower houses from the 14th century.
Visitors need to check access arrangements in advance as the castle maintains restricted entrance policies due to its private ownership status.
Robert Burns mentioned Sundrum in his 1785 poem 'The Vision', referring to it as a Pict-built mansion, connecting literature with architecture.
