Dalquharran Castle

Dalquharran Castle is a late 18th-century country mansion on the Dalquharran estate in South Ayrshire, Scotland, designed by Robert Adam and completed around 1790. It stands near the Water of Girvan and is accompanied by an older ruined medieval keep on the same estate. The Adam house was roofed and occupied into the 20th century but is now a ruin.

As it stood in 1790

The shape it held in its prime.

A symmetrical, four-floor stone mansion in the classical manner, arranged around a central entrance axis. The south façade faces the north bank of the Water of Girvan and includes a projecting round bastion turret on the south front. Long low stable ranges extend to the north and are linked to the main block by screen walls with gateways forming a forecourt. The house contains a top-lit central spiral staircase, an oval dining room in the east wing and bedchambers on the two upper floors.
