Illieston Castle, Medieval castle in West Lothian, Scotland.
The stone structure features crow-stepped gables, a turret room, and a spiral staircase leading to multiple levels of living spaces.
The castle, constructed around 1600, served as a royal hunting lodge for Scottish kings James II and James IV in the late medieval period.
The Renaissance gateway, added in 1665, displays the initials of John Ellis, reflecting the architectural preferences of Scottish nobility during that era.
The property includes four bedrooms, three reception rooms, modern amenities, and fishing rights along the adjacent River Almond near Broxburn.
The castle's separate bothy functions as a rental property while the main building maintains its original medieval structural elements.
