About Castle Kilbride
Castle Kilbride is a grand Victorian home that was built in 1877 for James Livingston, flax industrialist, politician and entrepreneur. It was named Castle Kilbride after Livingston's birthplace in East Kilbride, Scotland. The house was designed in the Italianate style of architecture and capped with a belvedere lookout. The beautiful exterior, however, is overshadowed by its outstanding interior décor.
In September 1995, the Federal Government officially designated Castle Kilbride a National Historic Site by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
