An artist's rendition of Thomaston Castle as it looked in the 16th century. In Abercrombie's "Account of Thomaston", the following description appears: The ancient castle of Thomaston, beautifully situated within sight of the Firth of Clyde, opposite Ailsa Craig, was acquired by the Makilvane family by marriage. It was built for Thomas Bruce, a nephew of King Robert the Bruce, about 1315, who died soon after its completion.
