Raploch Castle (site of)

Nothing now remains of Raploch Castle, and the site is covered with housing.

The exact location of the castle is unknown, however a doocot associated with it stood in this position, so until I have done more research I have placed it here.

The site is on high ground within a bend in the Avon Water, and is a good defensive location.
