Tags: Castle.
The lands of Elliston previously Elliotston or Eliotstounor Elliestoun in the Parish of Lochwinnoch were part of the holdings of the Barony of Elliston later a part of the Castle Semple barony and estates. The ruins of the castle lie a short distance from Howwood in East Renfrewshire in a private garden on a minor road between the A737 and the B776. The name may have derived from earlier holders of the lands however the Sempill family held them since at least 1220.
