    The main castle had its roof removed in the 1960s to avoid paying rates and fell into ruin after that. The stables building you explored near the end was occupied until the 1990s by a farmer and his family but it too was eventually abandoned. There have been grand plans to turn it into a golf resort and hotel but nothing has ever materialised, although some work was done around 2007ish to clear the main building of debris to allow it to be surveyed.

    Dalquharran castle . In Dailly. Ayrshire. I went here about ten years ago after driving through the village and spotting it sitting up on the hill. It was in much worse condition. Someone has clearly tidied the place up. Awesome place

    Loved every minute of your Scottish tour and you should definitely come back for a sequel. Keith from Midlothian 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍😎 There are a few ruined castles and estates just in the area. One interesting site is castle law hill Fort which is not the biggest place but it's underground and located inside the army training area and can be accessed if the red lights or flags are off or down.

    Before I say anything about the building, I really want to say what bloody phenomenal footage that was of the drone overhead looking down into the roofless castle watching Al and Norton going around with their torches 😮❤ Adding their chat in was just the icing on the cake ❤ Outstanding video, drone footage and editing Lloydy ❤ What a Strange castle. From the front identical lifeless architecture, nothing of the windows to imply the style of stone or wooden window, none of the characteristics around the window, nor evidence of how many panes of glass in any window. Stripped of door ways carvings, design, nothing left. Stripped of its entire character which made it incredibly odd. But also amazing. The spiral staircase that had gone must have been Amazing, the one you went up super creepy with the centre missing, nothing the other side of the doorways in the dark which made me feel queasy despite being cosy at home. I used to be quite good at knowing castles ages, architecture etc but when you said, I still didn't feel that, it's had everything stripped away including age and identity.
    The older building had the abandoned remains left, wood for door frames, felt at least like it had been occupied. Also I think that was a washing copper as opposed to the not pizza oven. Washing copper sat in the top, fire lit under to heat the water and wash the clothes. Just an Amazing place all round. Definitely would Love to see more of the series when your work and lives allow ❤

    Spiral staircases were used and designed in a way to keep enemies from making their way into the towers.

    yes boys! I've been to this one, its great. I bumped into a local who was walking his dog through the grounds. lovely guy told me how to get in as the front door was shuttered when I went. he told me a bit of the history I cant remember much bar this being inspired by another castle, and its the second of castles of the same name, the first one is still somewhat standing and much older (I luckily stumbled across it before coming to this big one) he said that they ripped the roof off in the 70s? not sure, something to do with squatters and then not having to pay tax on it or something. he also told me how up until around 7 years ago (at least 8 by now) the main spiral staircase was still standing and useable until a tree growing at the top dislodged a large stone and fell with it. the tree was still there at the bottom when I went but it had died,
    you guys did miss a couple gems, and that "lift shaft" you found was correct, it was one of the 2 dumb waiters that I found, there may have been more. but if you went through all the basement you would've found the large pulley gears from the top of that shaft that had fallen down.
