Culzean Castle

Home of the Kennedy's, Culzean Castle was built in the late 1700's on a site associated with the Kennedy's since the early 14th century. The construction commenced in 1771 and was completed in 1792 by Robert Adams.
The wood floors in the castle were laid without nails or glue but only held in place with wooden pegs. Marble, for the fireplaces and drawing room, was imported from Italy while the sandstone that completes the structure was brought to the site from different locations throughout Scotland.
