(NS 4638 6165) Stanely Castle (NR) (remains of)

OS 1:10000 map (1973)

Stanely Castle, a massive fortalice, probably of early 15th century date, is now surrounded by the reservoir of Paisley Waterworks. Its site was formerly an island in a marsh. L-planned, it is four storeys high to the parapet, with the garret storey above long ruinous, and the interior gutted. Its masonry is of good coursed rubble, and the windows small and scanty, with keyhole-type arrow-slits.
