The ruins of Mugdock Castle in Mugdock Country Park just outside Glasgow.

Built in the 14th Century, this was a curtain wall castle. This meant it consisted of a series of towers connected by high, crenellated walls.

This style of castle replaced the older motte-and-bailey design in Scotland in the 13th Century. The tower at its south-west corner is all that remains of the original castle.
