Kerelaw, an estate, with a mansion of the close of last century and a ruined castle, in Stevenston parish, Ayrshire, 5 furlongs N by E of the town. The castle, which belonged to the Earls of Glencairn, was sacked towards the end of the 15th century by the Montgomeries of Eglinton; and, now a massive ivy-mantled ruin, recently underwent some renovation, to retard its decay and increase its picturesqueness. The sacking of it was avenged by the burning of Eglinton Castle to the ground in 1528.—Ord. Sur., sh. 22, 1865.
