Inch Castle

Inch Castle was a 15th century tower of which nothing now remains.

When the site was excavated in 2005 no remains were found, however at the site of Elderslie House a short distance away structural features which could be interpreted as the remains of a 15th century castle were found.

The site is now under a housing estate.
