In and Around Dunure

Dunduff Castle
Substantial ruin now fully restored as a private residence on slope of Carrick Hills one mile east of Dunure.

Dunure Castle
A prominent and attractive ruin. This castle was the scene of the horrific roasting of Allan Stewart, Commendator of Crossraguel Abbey, by the Cassillis Family in their attempt to seize the Abbey Lands. Mary Queen of Scots also stayed three nights here. Picnic area with ample parking.

Electric Brae
Optical illusion created so that car appears to be going uphill when it is in fact going down. A719 nine miles south of Ayr.
