Crookston Castle, in the Pollok area of Glasgow, is an early 15th century construction. It is surrounded by a defensive ring ditch that dates back to the 12th century when Sir Robert Croc built an earlier castle and chapel. Crookston Castle sits on top of a natural hill and has four square corner towers. Only the north-east corner tower survives to its former height. Today, Crookston Castle is a Category A listed building. This view of the castle is from the south.
