There is no contemporary evidence or later evidence identifying that Walter the Steward received any castle. They did receive the lands. Indeed, as with most other Comyn properties, the likelihood is that any previous castle had been slighted prior to the grant. I have correct the mis-statement. Also, while the site close to Mains Castle may be Kilbride Castle, there is actually no evidence at all for this, and other candidate sites are known. Therefore I have augmented the semantics so that it relates to the more certain Comyn Castle, which may or may not have occupied the same site as the Valogne's Castle of Kilbride. 82.43.88.129 (talk) 22:06, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Further to the last comment, the statement about Mains Castle being built when Kilbride Castle fell into disrepair has been removed because there is no evidence pointing to the Comyn Castle being in existence in or up to that period. It falls off the records in the early 1300s. The previous article assumed that an older castle continued to stand on the spot. This has been augmented to read as Mains Castle was erected nearby. 82.43.88.129 (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
