Ardencaple Castle NS 282 829 NS28SE 4
A castle is said to have been in existence at Ardencaple in the 12th century. The site is now occupied by the single surviving tower of a building of relatively recent date, but which may have contained earlier work. Traces of a moat were still visible in 1930.
