MenuBallygally Castle, Antrim
Ballygally Castle is a 17th-century Scottish style tower house, located on the Antrim Coast Road at Ballygally, County Antrim. It is within the townland of Ballygalley, in the civil parish of Carncastle. It was built in 1625 by a Scotsman, traditionally believed to have been James Shaw of Greenock who had obtained a lease of a considerable estate under Randal MacDonnell, 1st Earl of Antrim. In the 1830s it was modernised and became a coastguard station. It was converted to a hotel in 1938. The rectangular castle has four storeys, four corner turrets and a flanking tower at the northeast side with an entrance and stone spiral stairs. Originally it was enclosed by a bawn with four corner turrets. It is within the council area of Mid and East Antrim.
