Ardrossan Castle is situated on the west coast of Scotland in the town of Ardrossan Ayrshire. The castle defended by a moat stands on a ridge above the town. There is a keep dating from the fifteenth century and a vaulted range containing a kitchen and cellars. In a deep passageway there is a well. Part of the keep remains up to the corbels of the parapet but it is in ruins. The original castle owned by Clan Barclay was partly destroyed during the Wars of Scottish Independence.
