Kelburn Castle, Kelburn Estate Fairlie, Largs KA29 0BE
A country estate near Fairlie with an unusual claim to fame: the castle's exterior walls carry a large-scale graffiti mural, commissioned as a temporary art project that proved popular enough to stay. The country centre and grounds are open daily, but seeing inside the castle itself requires a pre-booked guided tour.
Worth the trip
The graffiti-mural exterior - one of the only castle facades of its kind in the country, a deliberate contrast to the stonework underneath.
Before you go
The grounds and country centre are open daily without booking, but the castle interior is guided-tour only and needs booking ahead - don't turn up expecting a walk-in tour of the inside.
Country centre daily; castle by pre-booked guided tour; graffiti murals
