Dean Castle
Dean Castle is a 14th-century stone castle in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, originally built for the Boyd family and set within a large wooded park. The complex comprises a tall defensive keep and an attached palace block with projecting battlements and a pitched slate roof, and today houses museum collections and is open to the public.

As it stood in 1350
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact medieval complex of warm honey-brown sandstone: a tall rectangular keep with very thick walls and few small windows stands at one end, linked to a lower palace block with a steep slate roof punctured by triangular dormers. Both keep and palace display crenellated parapets and projecting corbel courses; the Laigh (low) tower projects from the palace end. The castle sits in a wooded valley beside lawns and a curving approach drive, fully roofed and intact at its prime.
