The East Lothian postcard kingpin Reginald Phillimore had heard that it was hunted down and slain by Livingstone of Saltcoats, and one of his cards has a vignette of the last wild boar running for its life, with a spear-wielding huntsman in hot pursuit on horseback. One of the claims to fame of Saltcoats Castle is that the last wild boar in Scotland was said to have been killed not far away. Whereas there is consensus that the Scottish population of wild boar was wiped out in the late 16th or early 17th century, there are divergent opinions as to where the last specimen was hunted down. In about 1810, the castle began to be used as a source of stone for local building work, constructing farm cottages and stone walls, and leading to the destruction of much of Saltcoats Castle. An armorial panel relocated from the castle to a nearby cottage has the arms of the Livingstone family and the initials of the builder and his wife Margaret Fettis of Fawside.
It was constructed in 1590 or thereabouts by Patrick Livingstone of Saltcoats.
It has been uninhabited for more than 200 years and is today badly ruined and overgrown with noxious vegetation, with nettles and brambles abounding on the site.
