This elegant castle 2 miles north of Brodick evolved from 13th-century origins into a stately home and hunting lodge for the Dukes of Hamilton. The interior is characterised by fabulous 19th-century wooden furniture and an array of horses 'n' hounds paintings. The hunting gallery is wallpapered with deer heads. Helpful guides and good information panels add background.
The extensive grounds, now a country park with various trails among the rhododendrons, justify the steep entry fee.
