From deer parks to swan pools and a stunning, secluded beach, you could spend the entire day here.The castle also has many apartments and rooms, one of which was gifted to President Eisenhower to use whenever he wanted.*Entry to the castle is subject to operating hours, with the usual closure period spanning from January to mid-March.

Dunure Castle

As you drive along the coast to the next destination, you will get to see Dunure Castle. Another beautiful castle, with a fantastic cliff-side location, but this time you’ll see the silhouette of the ruined walls.There is also a rather great (yet gruesome!) story from the 1500s, when Earl Gilbert was trying to seize the lands and roasted the Commentator of Crossraguel on a spit over a fire… if you like this kind of story, your guide will no doubt tell you more.Or, if you’re an ‘Outlander’ fan, you might recognise Dunure Castle as the location where Claire and Jamie watch young Ian swim out to Silkies’ Island in Season 3.
