Sightseeing

Beautiful drive along the coast to get there. Don't forget to stop at the electric brae! :) The castle sits near the cliff overlooking the Firth of Clyde. Its owned by the National Trust, so is free to get in if you're a member. £11.50 just to get in to the grounds if you're not. If you're interested in the history of the place you can do a guided tour. I like to just take a picnic and enjoy the surroundings outside.
