Castle & Garden
Ardgillan Castle, although referred to as a castle, is actually a large country-style house with castellated embellishments. Originally named “Prospect House”, the central section was built in 1738 by Robert Taylor, with the west and east wings added in the late 1800s. The house consists of two storeys over a basement and when occupied, the ground and first floors were the living accommodations while the west and east wings were servants’ quarters and estate offices. The Ardgillan Castle has now been restored and the ground floor rooms and kitchens are open to visitors for guided tours.me.
