The luxurious Killochan Castle is opening up to the public for the first time.

Fancy an opulent stay in one of Scotland's most luxurious castles? Well, Killochan Castle near to the picturesque Ayrshire village of Girvan might just be the answer. The former private estate is set to open to the public this summer after a grand refurbishment.

There’s also a rooftop deck at the top of the castle, where guests can go for panoramic views of the Firth of Clyde. The property also includes a firepit and outside seating, with further plans to add a gym, games room, tennis court and covered pavilion. Nods to the history of this grand building also include a dungeon, a clock tower, and an ancient machicolation three stories above the main entrance, which once would have been an important defensive feature used to drop boiling oil, hot sand, or rocks onto attackers or unwanted guests

Killochan has full double bank fishing rights and has a stable of mountain bikes and e-bikes available on site to enjoy the property’s many wonderful trails. Rip Cathcart, a property developer and entrepreneur in the US, and his wife Millie, purchased the estate in 2021 and are now excited to return the property to the family fold after an extensive makeover.
