Glenapp Castle, Category B listed country house in South Ayrshire, Scotland
The nineteenth-century Glenapp Castle rises with Scottish Baronial architecture, featuring 73 rooms across multiple levels and towers near the Ayrshire coast.
Scottish architect David Bryce completed the construction of Glenapp Castle in 1870 for James Hunter, the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of the County.
The Inchcape family maintained the castle from 1917 to 1980, including Elsie Mackay who attempted the first female transatlantic flight in 1928.
The castle functions as a five-star hotel with 21 bedrooms, including a penthouse suite, and requires advance reservations for both accommodation and dining.
The property extends one mile from its electronic gates through 36 acres of gardens, offering views of Ailsa Craig, Arran, and Mull of Kintyre.
