Almond or Haining Castle, a ruin in Muiravonside parish, Stirlingshire. Built by the Crawfords in the reign of James III., it passed in 1540 to the Livingstones, and changed its name of Haining to Almond Castle in 1633, when James, third son of the first Earl of Linlithgow, was created Baron Livingstone of Almond, a title exchanged by him in 1641 for those of Earl of Callendar and Baron Almond. The castle ceased to be inhabited about the middle of last century, but is still a fine specimen of old domestic architecture.
