Description
Cassillis is nestled in a secluded parkland and river setting of South Ayrshire and a short distance from the coast. The Castle sits in an elevated position overlooking the attractive River Doon. Cassillis was owned and occupied by the Kennedy family from the early 15th century until 2009. It is believed that the original castle was built sin 1358 after the lands were granted by charter to the Kennedy's after a marriage with a local heiress. It was from here that David Kennedy, First Earl of Cassillis took his title in 1502.
The Castle is approached through electric gates via a private tarmac driveway which follows the River Doon, passed the estate houses and terminated in a gravelled parking area to the front. Understood to date to the early 15th century, the A-listed castle has been comprehensively and sympathetically refurbished. Laid out over five storeys, the accommodation is shown on the accompanying floor plans. The Castle has retained many historic features internally.
