Crawfurdland Castle, a mansion in Kilmarnock parish, Ayrshire, on the left bank of Crawfurdland Water, 3 miles NE of Kilmarnock town. Comprising a strong, thick-walled, ancient tower, and a fine modern Gothic centre, it has been for upwards of six centuries the seat of a branch of the Craufurds; its present holder, Lieut.-Col. Jn. Reg. Houison-Craufurd (b. 1811; suc. 1871), owns 1876 acres in the shire, valued at £1988 per annum. (See also Braehead.) Crawfurdland Water, formed by two head-streams in Fenwick parish, close to the Renfrewshire border, winds 8¼ miles south-westward through Fenwick and Kilmarnock parishes, and, 1½ mile NNE of Kilmarnock town, unites with the Fenwick to form Kilmarnock Water.—Ord. Sur., sh. 22,1865.
