Dundonald Castle
Dundonald Castle is a late 14th-century Scottish tower house and barmkin standing on a low hill above the village of Dundonald in South Ayrshire. Built for Robert II around his accession, the present stone keep and enclosing courtyard survive as the principal visible fabric and are interpreted and conserved as a scheduled monument.

As it stood in 1390
The shape it held in its prime.
A three-storey rectangular stone tower house of grey rubble and ashlar, set on a low hill with a low enclosing barmkin curtain wall and ancillary ranges abutting it. The keep rises as a blocky vertical mass with irregular arched and slit openings and a visible single course of projecting ashlar at its base; masonry is roughly coursed local stone. In its prime the tower and adjoining courtyard buildings presented a complete defended household complex with stone-vaulted lower levels and open courtyard.
