Beautiful building, full of history, but that's all one can say about it. Place is always closed. No information anywhere if it's lived in or owned by anyone or anything. You can have a read about its history on the interweb only. As someone else mentioned, it sits right by A77, which is very busy/noisy with lorries often driving on an already narrow pavement and there's nowhere to park either.
Pleasing to look at however it did not appear to be open to look around, not is there any information posted. The castle is also on a main A road that passes through the town, with heavy traffic and many HGVs thundering inches away from the narrow pavement.
It's going to look fantastic when all work is finished.A 5 star company are main contractors,lots to do. Shut for the foreseeable
You cannot go into the castle as it is not open to the public
On one of the main streets through the town on the corner and not easy to park near.
Worth a visit great history
