Dalquharran CastleBy jbottero(2026-07-08)Dalquharran Castle is located in South Ayrshire, Scotland, designed by Robert Adam and completed around 1790. The property lies near the village of Dailly. The property was sold by the Kennedy family in the 1930s to a timber merchant who leased the castle to the Scottish Youth Hostel Association from 1936 to 1939. It was occupied by the Glasgow Deaf and Dumb Institution during the Second World War. During the war, the estate was sold to John Stewart, a produce merchant, who occupied the new castle with his family and farmed the estate. The castle was eventually abandoned, as it was too large and expensive to maintain. The lead roof was removed in 1967 so the owners could declare it as uninhabitable and avoid paying rates. The interiors were in good condition in the late 1960s, but photographs published in early 2017 confirmed that the interiors were in total ruin.
