About this property
With its dramatic clifftop setting, Robert Adam architecture, fascinating history and beautiful surroundings, it's easy to see why Culzean Castle is one of Scotland’s most popular visitor attractions.

Surrounded by Culzean Country Park, a 242 hectare estate encompassing lush woodland, landscaped gardens and rugged coastline, this 18th-century Scottish castle couldn’t be better placed for a family day out.

You could easily spend an entire day exploring the country park alone, but with so many treasure-filled rooms to see inside the castle, it’s well worth making time to enjoy both elements of this magnificent historic attraction.

You can discover the history of Culzean Castle through an exciting multimedia tour for iPhone and iPad. Download it from the App Store here.

Culzean Castle is also one of the best places in Scotland to look out for bats. To find other bat 'hotspots' visit www.bigbatmap.org.

Did you know?

The walkway between the Clocktower Courtyard and the castle was built so servants could walk to and from the castle without being seen by guests.
