Kerelaw Castle
Kerelaw Castle is a medieval castle ruin on the coast at Stevenston in North Ayrshire, Scotland. Historically a baronial residence, it was rebuilt after damage in the late 15th century and later fell out of use; only parts of the masonry survive today and the site is fenced and interpreted by the local council.

As it stood in 1545
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact rectangular stone tower-house and outer court standing on the burn-side slope above the Stevenston Burn and adjacent bridge, with all main walls complete and a steep pitched roof covering the range. The long southern wall is punctured by tall pointed Gothic windows and inset panels of carved coats of arms; narrow arrow-slits and cable-moulded string courses run along the upper walls. Grounds include a surrounding curtain of high stone walls and a walled garden to one side, with a stone bridge and track below.
