Beautiful area with informative signs. Absolutely worth having a look around. Amazing views over to Arran from the roof.

Ruins, with internal access and roof access for lovely views. Local smokehouse adjacent for local delicacies.

We'll worth the visit, great views from top of the castle although the climb to the top is not for the faint hearted.

Free castle next to the seafood cabin. You can climb the tower to get great views across to Arran.

A lovely ruined castle with amazing views and even better views from the top.
Ground floor all grass so bring proper footwear. FREE entry. Parking is a good 10 minute walk but there is on site blue badge parking.
Toilets are available at the seafood cabin next door, which is definitely worth a visit also.
