This castle may seem a bit out of place near a housing scheme but don't let that distract from how great this place is - especially if you're brave enough to make it all the way up the narrow ladder steps to the top viewing platform!
"Crookston Castle was originally an earth and timber ringwork fortification built in the late twelfth century by Robert de Croc. This early castle was upgraded into a Tower House around 1400 by the Stewarts of Darnley. Their castle was attacked and badly damaged during a siege in 1489 and only partially repaired."
