Cowden Hall, 17th century laird's house in Neilston, Scotland
The west-facing structure features traditional stone walls, large windows, and stands in an elevated position overlooking the Neilston Gap and Levern Water.
The land where Cowden Hall stands appeared on Timothy Pont's Renfrewshire map between 1583 and 1596, marked as 'Kouden' indicating earlier settlement.
The name Cowden derives from the Gaelic word 'Caltuinn', meaning hazel valley, reflecting the Scottish linguistic heritage of the region.
The building's position provides clear views across the surrounding landscape, with access routes connecting to the main road leading south to Ayrshire.
The Spreull family, who held the barony until 1622, incorporated tax collection symbols into their coat of arms due to their control of the Ayrshire road.
