Drum Castle

Drum Castle and its grounds were granted to William de Irwyn in 1325 by Robert the Bruce, and remained in the possession of Clan Irvine until 1975. The castle is now owned by the National Trust for Scotland. The grounds are open all year, but you should check their website for castle opening times.
