Seagate Castle
Seagate Castle is a fortified town house in Irvine, North Ayrshire, historically associated with the Montgomerie family. Originally a medieval stronghold, it was remodelled as a showpiece mansion in the sixteenth century and later fell into ruin; its remains are a scheduled monument overlooking Seagate, the town's oldest street.

As it stood in 1565
The shape it held in its prime.
A long east-facing stone main block fronts the street with three projecting towers to the east — two round towers and a triangular tower at the north-west corner — and an ornate arched entrance pend through the north section opening into a courtyard with a curtain wall and subsidiary ranges. Ground floor vaulting, two single-door guardrooms, a large kitchen with a prominent fireplace and serving hatch, and upper floors with moulded windows and fireplaces reached via a round-tower stair define the silhouette at its height.
