Loudoun Castle, Theme park near Galston, Scotland
The 1995 theme park centered around Loudoun Castle ruins featured 11 attractions, including three roller coasters and one water ride across its grounds.
The theme park opened in 1995 under London-based ownership and operated until 2010, with multiple ownership changes before Henk Bembom's Parkware Ltd acquired it in 2002.
The entertainment complex used Rory the Lion as its mascot and incorporated the Category A listed castle ruins into its recreational landscape design.
The park received substantial investments, with £5 million in the first year and £2 million in the second year for new rides and facilities.
Following the park's closure in 2010, numerous rides including Twist 'n' Shout, Goldrush, and Barnstormer were listed for sale in February 2011.
