Mugdock
Castle
Mugdock Castle was the stronghold of Clan Graham. The original castle was built in the mid-14th century. It comprised four towers around a courtyard with high walls. The main gate was in the middle of the south wall. The castle stood on a mound of volcanic rock on the edge of Mugdock Loch. |

Castle as it was in the

A plain house was originally built by John Smith ( of John Smith & Son, booksellers ). His son, James, subsequently incorporated this house in the ornate mansion shown in the photograph. This mansion was designed by Alexander Ramsay in what is described as Regency Gothic style. |
