Ogilface Castle was a medieval castle in Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland.[1][2]
The castle was established in the mid 12th century when it was granted to Holyrood Abbey by William de Veteri Ponte.[3]
Ogilface was the seat of the Barons of Ogilface before it passed to the Earl of Linlithgow, then fell out of use.[3][4][5]
The ruins were said to have been used by Covenanters a place of refuge.[6]
Today, only mounds remain in extant.[6] A geophysical survey of the Ogilface castle remains was carried out in 2008.[7] The West Lothian Archaeological Trust, working with the Edinburgh Archaeological Field Society has also investigate the castle.[8] Infrared kite surveys have revealed features of the castle not visible at ground level.[9]
