What is recorded here
Kilbryde Castle is a 17th-century country house and medieval tower house in Stirling, Scotland, occupied by the Campbell family since 1659. Thomas Heiton remodelled it in the late 1870s after its roof collapsed in 1877, shaping the Scots baronial building that still stands today. Its gardens remain open on selected days, inviting visitors into a place where centuries of residence and reinvention continue to breathe through stone and green space.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kilbryde Castle as Country House (17th Century), Tower House (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.
Kilbryde Castle was originally a medieval tower house, later replaced by a 17th-century country house, and is associated with the historical Leslie family of that region. It is remembered as an example of the transition from defensive medieval structures to the more domestic architecture of the early modern period in Scotland.
