~ Culzean Castle and it's beautiful grounds~Near Maybole, Carrick on the Ayrshire coast of Scotland.
Our Scottish correspondent just sent BeckwithRoad these grandiose pictures of her trip to Culzean Castle. The castle was built between 1777 and 1792 by Robert Adam. Robert Adam built the castle around a pre-existing stately home. The construction was orderd by the 10th earl of Cassilos. At the time that this property was bequeathed by the Kennedy family to the Scottish Trust, it had been the former home of the Marquess of Ailsa. This castle also appears on the 5 pound note issued by the Bank of Scotland.
We were smitten by the herds of deer grazing on the grounds. Reminds us of feature films such as, "The Queen" and "Pride and Prejudice". The landscape is a relish for the eyes! Thank you to our Scottish correspondent!
