Lochranza Castle is an L-plan fortified tower house situated on a promontory in Lochranza, on the northern part of the Isle of Arran in Scotland. Most of the castle was built in the 16th century.. Lochranza Castle enjoys a superb location on a spit of land projecting out into Loch Ranza from its south west side. As a result it provides a focal point for much of the village of Lochranza as it wraps around the loch, and features in many views of different parts of the village. The castle you see today looks to be a fairly typical L-plan tower house with a single small entrance facing west towards the land access from the village along the spit. Internally the ruin has three distinct parts. The main block of the castle was divided in two, with the south end providing a single large room on each of three floors. The north end provided rather smaller rooms on its four levels. At first floor level the floor in the south end of the castle has long gone, but this would have been the castle's great hall, while the first floor of the north end was home to the kitchen. The third main element of the castle is its tower, attached to the west side of the south end and originally standing five storeys high.
