What is recorded here

Corsehill Castle is a ruined stone tower near Stewarton where the Cunningham family held power from the sixteenth century until the line faded in the eighteenth. Andrew Cunningham received the lands in 1532 and lived through religious upheaval, while his descendants married across Ayrshire and carried the name through baronetcies. The house may have echoed with feast music, argument and quiet prayer before David Cunningham left it behind for Doura Hall. What remains is not a display but a boundary marker, proving that human ambition still stands exposed on the hill.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Corsehill Castle as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Corsehill Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Corsehill family, a minor noble family in the region. It is remembered as an example of early medieval domestic architecture in southern Scotland and for its association with local landholding during the medieval period.
