Culzean castle Ayrshire


Culzean Castle  Is a National Trust for Scotland premises

I visited the castle recently and was struck by the condition of the site. I felt the history was not very well presented. But there were at hand several guides to explain more details as they recited dates and information that folks will not remember. Have you noticed these places  where there is an air of " I know it all". 

I suppose we are all experts in our own field. ( By the way laptop still working)

 Now Culzean is not pronounced as here.   Well not in Scotland where the "Z" is silent. as in Dalziel. 

The castle is well set out for visitors wih good parking and an open feel as you head for the gates to the various premises. There is a walled garden, pictures below. The book shop was well stocked with second hand books but nothing for me to grab that covers my interst. Robet Adams castle is super.
