Crawford Castle



 The ruins of Crawford Castle sit on top of a mound by the banks of the River Clyde.

The architectural remains of Crawford Castle date from the early 17th century but it was probably rebuilt from an earlier 16th century building. The castle is mentioned variously in the 12th, 15th and 16th centuries.
