Historical Background

Culzean Castle was constructed in the late 18th century by architect Robert Adam, commissioned by the Kennedy family, influential landowners in Ayrshire. The castle overlooks the Firth of Clyde and was later gifted to the National Trust for Scotland by the Earl of Cassilis in 1945. Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet, lived in Ayrshire during the 18th century, and many locations in the area are connected to his life and works.
