Kilbryde Castle is a castellated Scottish castle in the Scots baronial style.

Its extensive gardens are open to the public on selected days or by appointment. [1]

The property was originally built by the Earl of Menteith in 1460. It is currently owned by Sir James and Lady Carola Campbell. The family has owned the castle since 1659. [2]
