Castle Kilbride is an Italianate house in Baden, Ontario, Canada, built in 1877 as the residence of James Livingston, a Canadian member of parliament and owner of flax and linseed oil mills. Named after Livingston's birthplace, East Kilbride in Scotland, it contains interior murals in the style of the Italian Renaissance that use trompe-l'œil to create an illusion of three dimensions. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1994.
