About

Kilbride Castle was a Norman castle of the Lords of Kilbride held by the de Valognes family, which became a seat of the Comyn family and has also been called Comyn's Castle. Robert the Bruce awarded it to Walter Stewart, subsequently Robert II of Scotland granted it to the Lindsay family of Dunrod Castle, Inverkip. In 1793, historian David Ure identified the castle's site as Laigh Mains motte, located just to the north of the later Mains Castle in the parish of East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
