Description
As striking now as it was domineering upon its completion in 1442, step inside this exceptional stone keep to discover a palatial pad whose renovation honours many of its original medieval features.
This exceptional fifteenth century keep is an ancient stone clad castle, which sits high on a hill, with stunning views over the Firth of Clyde and onto the Isle of Arran. Built in 1442, it fell into disrepair over the centuries and it was restored to its original state in 2001. Furthermore it has been refurbished throughout and it retains an authenticity rarely seen with its stone walls, turnpike stairs and stone flagon floors.
There are very few castles in Scotland that are as authentic as this in structure and in design and anyone booking this castle will know they are getting something completely different. By the very nature of the building due to its age, there are low doorways to encounter and steep stairs, which takes getting used to, but is part of the charm of the castle. If you are a “Game of Thrones” fan or prefer “Wolf Hall”, then this is a venue that takes you back in time. It is an ideal castle to stay in Scotland. For a family holiday with a difference, a golfing group, a special event or an intimate wedding for up to 12 people, this is a castle that everyone will talk about for years to come.
Your booking is always safe and secure

we went to the castle for a weekend to celebrate a 30th birthday. The property owner was very friendly on our arrival and very helpful. Communication throughout was excellent. The Castle itself was stunning...beautifully and loving restored giving our weekend a great backdrop and really set the scene for our murder mystery night! The property was very clean and tidy with plenty of linen etc and a very well kitted out kitchen and washing facilities - we were only there for a weekend but could have more than comfortably stayed longer. The staircase was a bit tight but that all added to the experience!
Sounds like a lovely holiday was had by all and that this historic castle was perfect for the murder mystery night and birthday celebrations! Great to hear you found the owners helpful as well as the castle clean, tidy and well stocked.

The castle and the landscape was as beautiful as promised. But in the castle there was a couple minor details that was a little inconvenient. There was not a single blankets to use f. ex in the livingroom couch or for that kind of usage. Also no large pieces of pots and pans for cooking for a larger group (12 persons)
Many thanks for your feedback, we try our best to provide a personal yet efficient service here at Scott’s, so we are so pleased that you felt it was excellent.
Sounds like your party had a holiday to remember overall, enjoying the castle and local area. We shall note your comments and pass these on, as any feedback is invaluable to allow room for improvements where possible, to ensure all visitors have the most comfortable stay aswell as an enjoyable one!
We hope to be of help with your plans again in the future.
