Kelburn Castle
Kelburn Castle is a large house near Fairlie, North Ayrshire, Scotland. It is the seat of the Earl of Glasgow. Originally built in the thirteenth century (the original keep forms the core of the house) it was remodelled in the sixteenth century. In 1700 the first Earl made further extensions to the house in a manner not unlike a French ''château'' which is virtually how it appears today. In 1977 the house and grounds opened to the public as a country park. It is one of the oldest castles in Scotland and has been continuously inhabited by the same family for longer than any other. The castle is protected as a category A listed building,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kelburn Castle: Listed Building Report )〕 while the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kelburn Castle )〕
==History==
The Boyle family have been in possession of the lands of Kelburn since the 12th century.〔 In the late 16th century a tower house was built. This replaced an earlier structure, and may incorporate parts of the earlier masonry its eastern part.〔 In the 17th century, orchards and gardens are recorded at Kelburn.〔 David Boyle (1666–1733), a member of the Parliament of Scotland, was created Earl of Glasgow in 1703. He began the new north-west wing of the house, which was completed ''circa'' 1722. George Boyle, 6th Earl of Glasgow (1825–1890), added the north-east wing in 1880. Following the opening of the grounds to the public, the estate buildings and stables were converted in 1980, to provide a tea room, shop and visitor information.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kelburn Castle: Site history )〕
