Crookston Castle: spiral staircase
From the Great Hall (Image), the spiral staircase gives access to the Lord's Bedchamber (Image).
Beside the same staircase are the remains of a medieval latrine, and a blocked door to the (now largely demolished) south-eastern tower (see Image, where the remains of that tower are on the left). Further up, the staircase is blocked, but it would have given access to the uppermost rooms in the north-eastern tower (i.e., the two storeys of rooms directly above the Lord's Bedchamber). Those rooms are now reached, instead, by sets of modern metal rungs.

Crookston Castle
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.
