About This Activity

Dundonald Castle is in unique renaissance duration having been developed in the decade that is last one of many must-visit attractions in Ayrshire. Situated on a hill above the village the castle offers some of the best views of Ayrshire too, provided you can handle the winding 30m climb up towards the top of the hill!The ground itself up there's been occupied by one castle or another since 2000 BCE, so there's plenty of historically range that is academic fuelled for some kids by the novel idea of creating castles on top of castles!Fascinating interpretive shows within the visitor centre consist of archaeological artefacts discovered locally and a bright collection of heraldic shields.Tours of the castle can be found but aren't fundamentally captivating for younger children.The standout event here is the Dundonald Games held in August, when there will be old-fashioned local activities and entertainments like Pipe Bands, Highland Dancing, Battle Re-enactments and tug-o-war plus youngsters' rides and a street procession. One for the diary!
