Torwood Castle is a roofless ruined tower house built around 1566 in an L-shaped design near the village of Torwood in the Falkirk Council area of central Scotland. Constructed for Sir Alexander Forrester, the castle was seized by the Earls of Mar and Angus in 1585 during their strategic campaign against political rivals. The castle remains designated as a Category A listed building and sits on the Buildings at Risk Register due to ongoing stability concerns. While not officially open to the public, the ruins are accessible to visitors who can view the evocative silhouette of the tower against the Scottish countryside.
