Mugdock Castle

Mugdock Castle was the medieval stronghold of Clan Graham, located on a steep volcanic mound at the western edge of Mugdock Loch in what is now Mugdock Country Park. The site preserves a 14th-century four-storey tower and fragments of curtain wall, with later domestic ranges and a 19th-century Scottish baronial house built within the old walls. The surviving medieval tower has been conserved and the estate is publicly accessible.

As it stood in 1885

The shape it held in its prime.

A narrow, roughly rectangular four-storey stone tower of pale grey volcanic sandstone rises from a grassy mound, its two upper storeys projecting on a line of corbels that give a top-heavy profile and a defended parapet along the roofline; small rectangular windows pierce the solid walls. Low stretches of curtain wall, arched gate remains and rubble-built domestic ranges cluster around a central courtyard. By the late 19th century a three-storey L-shaped Scottish baronial house stood against the tower linked by a wide-arched covered passage; the setting is parkland beside the loch.
