Crookston Castle affords beautiful views of southwest Glasgow and is one of the most important historical fortifications in this area. On top of a natural hill, Sir Robert de Croc built the original castle in the 12th Century from wood. The remains that are found now are mainly those found from the 15th Century castle that was constructed by the Stewart Earl of Wessex who rebelled against James IV. The property is now operated and maintained by Historic Scotland.
