Dundonald Castle

Dundonald Castle is in its own renaissance period having been developed within the last decade into one of the must-visit attractions in Ayrshire. Situated on a hill above the village the castle offers some of the best views of Ayrshire too, provided you can manage the winding 30m climb to the top of the hill!

The ground itself up there has been occupied by one castle or another since 2000 BCE, so there's a huge amount of historically educational scope here fuelled for most kids by the novel notion of building castles on top of castles!
