Crookston Castle is a late medieval fortress situated in Renfrewshire, southwestern Scotland. The castle consists of a four-storey square keep or donjon, likely constructed in the fifteenth century, with substantial remains of its curtain wall and corner towers still visible. The site occupies a commanding position on high ground, a typical defensive location for castles of its period. The castle is associated with the Stewart family and played a role in the regional politics of late medieval Scotland before falling into decline.
