Hunterston Castle

27/05/2026

Last week, we had visitors from Hamburg & Frankfurt, and the sun shone for them. Look at that blue sky. The West Coast of Scotland is known for high rainfall, but when the sun sun shines, it is even more beautiful 😎

They were fortunate to have the opportunity to have their photo take with Madam Pauline and Graham Macer Venatorus.

Thank you for visiting.☺️

Visiting the castle and looking for somewhere local to eat and drink? I can suggest Bernie's 2.0 Cafe in Ritchie Street, West Kilbride. Guaranteed a warm welcome from Nicky and her family. Freshly made coffee and a varied choice of lunch options. You can eat in or take away.

If you are visiting Hunterston Castle and are looking for a local lunch and coffee option, Cafe Willow in Ritchie Street, West Kilbride is highly recommended.
It has a fresh, welcoming and cosy vibe and can be found next to Morrows the Clock Shop.
It offers Matcha as well as tea and coffee. You may also find some furry residents inside too, as it is dog friendly.
Let us know what else you might look for in the area. 🙂

Nicola and Ceriss visited today. Local lassies who became good friends at school and have kept in touch over the years and across the miles, as Ceriss now lives in Sydney. (Hopefully we have spelt your beautiful name correctly)

The Rhododendrons are also out on the estate, adding splashes of colour amongst the green.

We hope the weather is good with you, wherever you are!
