Probably in 1326 Bruce began building his house, which was not described as a castle or palace but as a “manerium” or “manororium”, probably a manor house. The house is described as being single storey and having a hall, queen’s chamber, chapel, kitchen and larder as well as an apartment for the king.

A field on the bank of River Leven south of the village of Renton, West Dunbartonshire, called the Mains of Cardross, is thought to have been the location of his royal manor, none of which remains today.
Cardross is a heavily wooded park situated on a plateau above the River Forth, with views to the south over the Carse of Stirling and the Campsie and Kippen Hills. There is a view to the north along a vista of oak to Ben Ledi.
The king resided at the “manerium de Cardross” as the 14th-century records recall, but the Parish of Cardross extended from the present village on the Clyde in a line right over the Carman Hill to roughly where Renton now stands and as far east as the River Leven.

A common belief at the start of the twentieth century was that the King's Cardross residence had been near Castle Hill, a knoll that gives the Castlehill area of Dumbarton its name. For that reason, a flagstaff commemorating Robert the Bruce was erected near there in 1928.
