Dundonald Castle
South Ayrshire

A 12th century tower house built by Robert II, King of Scotland.

Over the years the castle was added to and altered but it was never really designed as a particularly defensive location, more a comfortable Royal residence.

To help locate the castle it's a few miles inshore and south of Irvine.

At the base of the castle hill is an information centre where castle entry is available for the payment of a small fee along with the usual café and gift shop.

The building is occasionally used as a wedding venue.

To give you some idea of the inside of the castle we arranged to have a section of wall removed from the side. You're welcome.
