Fantastic old construction but in poor condition. Looks like the community haven't been kind to it and the local government constructed a brutal fence around it, which makes it hard to enjoy it. Dirt all over the place shows little care for this piece of history. It's sad.

The ruin still has 3 walls standing, the big curtain wall has arched gothic windows, the style copied from Kilwinning Abbey probably. This was home to the Cunningham family, but was sacked and burned by the enemy Montgomery clan There's a nearby footbridge over the Garnock. It's a popular area for locals walking dogs etc

Disappointing to say the least. It’s a gorgeous piece of history, but the way in which the surrounding area was developed really takes away from the castle. Difficult to access, located right beside a residential neighborhood, and vandalized through graffiti with some trash strewn around, it’s a shame that it isn’t nicer. If homes had been built further away then it’s possible that it could have been left open to public access, but sadly, this isn’t the case. The only reason why I still rate it at 3 stars is due to the absolutely stunning river and neat little bridge located behind the castle. It’s a really great place to hang out and to walk along, so I recommend a visit if only for a brief spell of taking photos followed by hanging around the river.
