Kelburn Castle, Medieval castle in North Ayrshire, Scotland.
The stone structure features a central Norman keep with additional wings, combining architectural elements from different construction periods spanning eight centuries.
The Boyle family has maintained continuous residence in this thirteenth-century castle, making it the longest family-inhabited fortress in Scotland.
In 2007, four Brazilian artists transformed the exterior walls with bold graffiti art, creating an unexpected fusion of medieval architecture and contemporary expression.
The estate opens its grounds, gardens, and visitor center throughout the year, providing access to walking trails and outdoor recreational facilities.
The castle underwent a significant expansion in 1700 when David Boyle, the first Earl of Glasgow, added a William and Mary style manor to the original structure.
