Haining Place and the Barony of Haining-Ross, Medieval tower house in East Ayrshire, Scotland.

The tower house stands on a high promontory of land, partially encircled by Cessnock Water, featuring vaulted chambers and narrow slit windows.

The Register of the Great Seal of Scotland documented the Lands and Barony of Haining-Ross in 1665, noting its fortifications, chapel, and mill at Craigmill.

The estate encompassed multiple woodlands including Haining Wood, Dummuysdaill, Urisbankis, and Craigenconner, representing traditional Scottish land management practices.

Visitors can access the ruins through designated paths, while the nearby Haining Mains Farm continues agricultural operations in the surrounding area.

The structure formerly contained decorative terracotta lions and an entrance arch, which were later relocated from their original positions.
