Barr Castle

Barr Castle is a medieval tower house in Galston, East Ayrshire — despite the listing, it is not located in Glasgow. Protected as a Category B listed building, it belongs to the Scottish tower house tradition, a form of compact fortified residence common among the rural gentry from the 14th century onward. Little is documented about its precise origins or history, making it an obscure but evocative remnant of Ayrshire's medieval landscape.
