The Castle of Clonbeith is in the old feudal Baillerie of Cunninghame, near Auchentiber, on a sideroad off the B778, in what is now North Ayrshire, Scotland. == Clonbeith Castle == It was a simple oblong mansion, about forty feet by twenty-three feet with walls two and a half feet thick. The ground floor was vaulted and the entrance was central, leading into a passage with a straight staircase branching off to the right up to the first floor hall. A wheel-stair in a square chamber led to the upper floors. The hall was lit by windows in three of the walls and had a large fireplace on one side, and a circular bow window on the opposite side, boldly projected on a series of corbels (see photograph). The Renaissance style door bears the date 1607.〔MacGibbon, David & Ross, Thomas (1887 - 1892). ''The Castellated and Domestic Architecture of Scotland from the 12th to the 18th century.'' Vol. III. Reprint 1990. Pub. James Thin, Edinburgh. ISBN 0-901824-18-6. P. 374 - 375.〕 The name 'Clonbeith' is said to be derived from the Celtic words 'Cluan', grazing land and 'Beithe', birch.
