Dalquharran Castle NS 272 018 NS20SE 9

The old castle of Dalquharran stands on the N bank of the Water of Girvan 300m SSE of the late 18th-century castellated mansion of Dalquharran. It originally comprised a rectangular block of 15th-century date, three storeys and an attic in height, with a hall at first-floor level. A square stair-tower and a circular tower were subsequently added at the NW and SE angles respectively, and in 1679 a new wing and a second stair-tower were added on the N.
