The Barr Castle is situated in the town of Galston, East Ayrshire. The Barr Castle or Lockharts Tower has no exact date of being built, but over the recent years the museum committee have tried to put together as much history available to them. The Castle was built by the Lockharts. The Lockharts was a family of ancient standing and the first record of the family is in the old ragman roll (1297) which tells us of Malcolm Lockhart del conte de air, possibly the progenitor (Ancestor) of the Lockharts of Barr. The Lockharts had considerable ramifications (Having many branches) in Ayrshire during the 16th and 17th Centuries and they were amongst the leading Citizens, being merchants of no small enterprise in the Burgh of Ayr.
