Experience Old Dalquharran Castle like never before

Old Dalquharran Castle, located near Dailly in South Ayrshire, Scotland, has a rich history dating back to the late 15th century. Originally a fortified tower house, it was greatly extended and converted into a stately castle around 1679. The castle was part of the extensive estates held by the Kennedy family, who were influential in the region.
The castle's design features a rectangular keep with a round tower at one corner, and it was later expanded to form an L-plan. The Kennedy family continued to enhance the castle over the centuries, adding gardens and landscaped grounds. However, financial difficulties led to the sale of the estate in the late 17th century.
Old Dalquharran Castle is accessible to the public and offers a glimpse into Scotland's architectural and social history. The castle's ruins, along with the surrounding landscape, provide a picturesque and evocative setting for visitors interested in exploring Scotland's past.

Really appreciate you watching and commenting. I couldn't agree with your comment more. Spent hours exploring inside

[@DavidLorenzoFlorida]

*2:27** Awesome to see the family crest still intact. The castle seems destined to fall into complete ruin. Nice flight within. 👍👍👍*

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

Thanks David you know I always appreciate you dropping by the channel. Yes I was stunned to see the crest still so intact. Like you say eventually the Castle will fall and land up a pile of rubble so sad

[@tugadashcamsuk5946]

Hello! Another great video and great work! Thank you, friend, for sharing! Those walls are amazingly straight & square. Although it has seen better days, there's something fantastic about the quality of workmanship when you see old buildings like this still standing. If left to nature, the thing that will expedite it's demise will be the weeds growing on it, with their roots pushing apart the blocks & allowing water to slowly dissolve it. Sadly, it's been left for 200+ years with no maintenance & will still be there in another 200+ years, slowly dissolving... Interestingly. Keep it up! Stay safe out there. Cheers 🤝

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

WOW Tuga thanks for such a kind and detailed comment. It makes it all worthwhile when I read comments like this. It really is a beautiful old Castle.

[@morgsjoboo2247]

Another amazing video, good job what an amazing place. We sure would love to come to Scotland one day, it is on our bucket list. Keep up the great work. Thumbs up. Cheers Joe 😊

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

Thanks Joe for watching and commenting on the video. I am so pleased you enjoyed it. Filming Castles and Abandoned buildings is my passion

@@eyeintheskydrone4k . You are very welcome, you do an amazing job with the filming. Good for you, keep up the good work. Cheers Joe 😊

[@BaqPaqJaq]

Oh my god, Jim, what an amazing castle!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 rocks 🏰. Oh great edit to of course 😂😂 love the shot out at 2:12.

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

Cheers Jaq you know I always appreciate your comments on these videos. It was a cool Castle to fly and film. Got so much footage that is unseen

[@SouthCoastDronesUK]

Absolutely incredible Jim 🙂

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

Cheers, Ian. I truly appreciate your comments on the video. It was a real fun Castle to fly and film

[@SouthCoastDronesUK]

@eyeintheskydrone4k The fireplace and coat of arms thing just blew me away. Just imagine how grand that place would have looked all those years ago it's just unreal 👍

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

@SouthCoastDronesUK Castle 2 is mightly more impressive

[@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos]

The old stone is so much better than Kenmure's brickiness! Though parts do look very dangerous (cracks etc) she still looks a good solid building. Fantastic steady filming on the inscription at the end (a quotation from Rhetorica Novissima by Buoncampagno de Signa, published in 1235) - no fluctuation at all, impressive control.

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

Cheers, Paul, this was one hell of a find that's been sitting in front of my nose for years. A majestically beautiful building, but sadly, how long it lasts now who knows. I was just so glad I got the chance to fly and film it. Far too dangerous to try and enter

[@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos]

@eyeintheskydrone4k The gate posts are still worth the entrance alone...

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

100% agree. So much unseen footage as obviously i had to fit to the track. It's a place that will stay with me forever​@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos

[@PinnedonPlaces]

One we have had on the list for a while now, is it easy to access? Loving the architectural design here, you can tell even from these ruins how impressive and important Dalquharran would have been. Such a special video. Thank you Jim!!

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

Thumbs are getting sore here thanking you, POP. Old Dalquharran is a masterpiece. I spent hours flying and exploring inside. Video could have been a 60-minute, no problem. Thanks to both of you, as always. New Dalquharran is also up that is just Jaw Dropping I love the place

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

Easy access no problem to both Castles old and new. Park car and about a 10min walk though lovely woodland

[@johnnymac26]

Fantastic work mate disgrace this country allows these magnificent places to rot but hey look our town we should have a real palace hey let it go short sighted council.....anyway rant over brilliant video mate epic edit.

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

Cheers Johnny always appreciate you watching and commenting on the videos. It seems to be the more you have to more you get away with. Scotland really has some STUPID rules
