Old Photograph Ardmillan Castle Scotland
Old photograph of Ardmillan Castle in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Originally a 16th Century tower house with a Georgian mansion house added to one side. The whole castle was gutted by fire in 1972, and in 1990 the ruins were completely demolished. Mary Queen of Scots, on 7 August, 1563, spent that night at Ardmillan Castle just south of Girvan. Her host John Kennedy of Ardmillan was the cousin of Thomas Kennedy of Bargany. Thomas’s own castle of Ardstinchar at Ballantrae was the queen’s lodging on the night of 8 August, and the following day she passed out of Ayrshire, never to return, and continued on through Wigtownshire.
