Skelmorlie Castle
Skelmorlie Castle is a Scottish tower house and later-range complex on a promontory of the eastern shore of the Firth of Clyde in Ayrshire. The keep originates in 1502 with substantial alterations and additions in the 17th and 18th centuries; it served as the seat of the Montgomerie family for centuries. The site includes a main tower/keep, attached 17th-century ranges, and a southern courtyard with a former chapel.

As it stood in 1762
The shape it held in its prime.
A rectangular stone tower-keep of red sandstone rubble with an attached low 17th-century range; corbelled cylindrical angle turrets with conical roofs project from the corners. The roofline is steeply pitched with dormer windows and tall rectangular stone chimneys rising above stepped gables. Small slit and square windows punctuate the ashlar and rubble walls. The castle sits on a promontory above the eastern shore of the Firth of Clyde, with a southern courtyard and subsidiary turret-house close to the shore.
