Old Photograph Kelburn Castle Scotland
Old photograph of Kelburn Castle near Fairlie in Ayrshire, Scotland. This Scottish castle is the seat of the Earl of Glasgow. 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, born 1666, died 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, born 1825, died 1890, added the north-east wing in 1880.
