Love Dundonald Castle and woodlands around it. Old Auchans House is worth a visit as it was built with stone from the castle. Autumn is a beautiful time to visit 🍁🍂 Great video 👍

I just found out that I have genetic links to that castle! I want to do more research, but I don't even know where to start. My mind is blown from what I've come across so far.

Hi Jay. We worked with the Friends of Dundonald Castle and Historic Environment Scotland to create this video, although anyone can explore the site by purchasing tickets at the castle. More information is available at www.dundonaldcastle.org.uk/visit/.
