Culzean Castle

Culzean Castle is a castle overlooking the Firth of Clyde. It is near Maybole, Carrick (Scottish Gaelic: Am Magh Baog, A' Charraig). This is on the Ayrshire coast of Scotland about nine miles south from Ayr. This site is now owned by the National Trust and was once the home of the Marquess of Ailsa. The present eighteenth century building designed by Robert Adam is built on the site of a previous house. The house is in a spectacular location on the cliffs above the Firth of Clyde and in extensive grounds. The castle is open from the beginning of April until the end of October and the country park and gardens all year round. The castle includes a large drum tower, large oval staircase and military exhibitions. The Castle has the reputation of being haunted by a number of ghosts, including a piper and his dog as descibed in this link to National Trust for Scotland - .The ghosts of Culzean Castle.
