Duntarvie Castle is a fifteenth-century fortified tower house located in Linlithgowshire, West Lothian. The structure represents a typical example of Scottish lairdly domestic architecture of the late medieval period, comprising a rectangular stone tower with later additions and modifications. The castle served as a residence for a local landholding family and reflects the strategic and domestic concerns of lowland Scottish nobility during the transition from medieval to early modern times. Though substantially ruined, the surviving masonry demonstrates the quality of construction characteristic of fifteenth-century Scottish tower houses.
