Cathcart castle was built in about 1450, although there may have been an older fortress here. The building consisted of a strong tower enclosed by a rectangular courtyard with round corner towers.

The Cathcarts had supported Robert the Bruce, and Sir Alan Cathcart was slain at Loudoun Hill in 1307. The property passed to the Semples in 1546, and the castle was abandoned and unroofed in the 1740s. The ruin was further reduced in 1980 and now only the base of the tower survives.
