Kilmaronock Castle is a medieval stronghold located in Dunbartonshire, Scotland, situated on the banks of the River Endrick. The castle dates from the 15th century and represents a typical example of a Scottish tower house of that period. The structure comprises a substantial stone keep with defensive features characteristic of late medieval fortification, designed to serve both as a residential and military installation for the controlling family. The castle underwent various modifications over subsequent centuries and now stands as a ruin, surviving as an important testament to medieval domestic and military architecture in the west of Scotland.
