Portencross Castle
Portencross Castle is situated overlooking the Firth of Clyde near West Kilbride in Ayrshire.
Portencross has been inhabited for thousands of years. An archaeological dig found evidence of an Iron Age settlement on Auldhill, just behind Portencross Castle. The Iron Age lasted from around 800 BC to 100 BC. Portencross Castle was constructed in three phases starting around 1360. It was the home of a branch of the Boyds.
