Places to Visit - Kelburn Castle |
 | | In 1869, the 6th Earl of Glasgow inherited Kelburn and land in Dalry, Stewarton, Corshill and Fenwick and the estate at Hawkeshead outside Paisley, plus estates in Dunbartonshire, Fife, Northumberland and the greater part of Cumbrae. |
 | | Within the wooded area of the grounds is a monument (on the right) to one of the Earls of Glasgow, erected in 1775, by his disconsolate widow "to animate his children to his estimable qualities". |
 | | The Earl of Glasgow has tackled this with enthusiasm and has created a pet's corner, a wooden stockade, a woodland adventure trail, a marine assault course as well as a network of woodland nature trails and a beautiful walled garden (the illustration below is from a long hedge made up entirely of camelias). |
