Almond Castle, Medieval tower house in Whitecross, Scotland.
The four-story stone castle features an L-shaped layout with a vaulted basement, a first-floor hall, and a kitchen in the wing.
The Crawford family built the castle in 1470, and it passed to the Livingstone family through marriage around 1540, who expanded the structure.
The castle reflects the architectural preferences of Scottish nobility, incorporating defensive features with residential spaces typical of the medieval period.
The castle remains stand near the Union Canal, accessible via a 10-minute walk from the Muiravonside Parish Church parking area.
The structure changed its name from Haining Castle to Almond Castle in 1633 when James Livingstone received the title Baron Livingstone of Almond.
