The castle was built in Scots Baronial style, in red sandstone, and is one of the finest examples of these majestic family homes in the country.
Still a family home for the second owner, much of the interior fitments and furnishings remain faithful to the original designs.
Celebrated American author and humorist Mark Twain visited the castle in 1873 and was so impressed with the dining room fireplace, he insisted on taking it home to Connecticut where it remains, in the Mark Twain museum, to this day.
Ayton Castle is open to the public and offers a rare chance to experience the very finest in Scots Baronial style structures and interiors. The stunning castle facade and grounds make the perfect backdrop for weddings and the main hall can be hired for select gatherings that require only the highest class environment.
