Dalquharran Castle, Category A listed castle in South Ayrshire, Scotland.
The three-story castle features round towers, a central staircase, and stands near the Water of Girvan among landscaped grounds.
Robert Adam designed this castle in 1785 for Thomas Kennedy after the original Dalquharran Castle, located 300 meters away, became uninhabitable.
The castle underwent transformation from a private residence to a youth hostel and later served as a school for deaf students during World War II.
By early 2017, access to the castle was restricted due to safety concerns following decades of deterioration and structural instability.
The owners removed the lead roof in 1967 to declare the building uninhabitable and avoid paying property taxes.
