Duration: Around 30 minutes

Ardgillan Castle is open all year round offering visitors the opportunity to visit an 18th century country style house.
Our tours provide an amazing opportunity to experience history at first hand. Many periods of social history are brought to life with the focus firmly on the family who once lived in the castle. Visitors will get the chance to explore the castle and enjoy the same atmosphere that the Taylors experienced from 1738, when the castle was built right up to 1962, when it was eventually sold.
