Culzean Castle

Culzean Castle and Country Park, situated in Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland, is a glorious estate set within 642 acres of gardens, beaches, woodland and trails. Once the playground of David Kennedy, 10th Earl of Cassillis, the estate is opulent and dramatic, featuring a Swan Pond, ice house, formal gardens and fruit glasshouses.

The castle itself, perched dramatically on the Ayrshire cliffs, was designed by Robert Adam in the late 18th century. Today, it provides a truly spectacular backdrop for our Wild Deer trail runs.
