Kelburn Castle


On our return to Scotland we were blessed with our one day of sunshine and a visit to Kelburn castle. The day had started off cloudy and we all had our wellies on again.
Kelburn Castle dates back to the 13th century and is home to the present earl. Embracing the walls and turrets of the south of the castle is the graffiti project, a murel created by Brazilian graffiti artists and makes Kelburn Castle the most colourful castle in Scotland.


We all enjoyed a scavenger hunt through the secret forest, following clues and gaining answers through the mysterious grotto, maze of the green man, Chinese pagoda, ginger bread house, giant's castle, teeny weeny's house and many other surprises. Once we had collected the answers Heather and finlay were able to open a treasure chest to received lots of goodies as a reward.


We also enjoyed a walk around the grounds through pathways, bridges and gorges to see the colourful castle.


After our day trip and adventure, what better way to enjoy an ice cream from the world famous Nardini's in Largs.
Finlay always enjoys clambering over his Grandad.
