Welcome to Closeburn Castle

This defensive tower became the ancestral home of the Kirkpatricks in 1232, when the land was granted to Ivone of Kirkpatick by Alexander II, King of Scotland. It is the oldest continuously inhabited tower house in Scotland. Owned by the Kirkpatrick family for centuries, the estate was sold out of the family in 1783 by James Kirkpatrick to Reverend James Stuart-Menteth, until 1981, when Luis Kirkpatrick brought the Castle back to the family.

The Castle is 14 metres by 10 metres (46ft by 33ft) and rises 15 metres (52ft) to the top. At ground level, its walls are 3 metres (10ft) wide, tapering to a width 2 metres (6ft) at the top.

PRIVATE GUIDED TOURS AT CLOSEBURN CASTLE

If you are looking for things to do in Scotland why not to book a private tour to discover Closeburn Castle from "top to toe"!

What´s included in the tour? The tour is a private guided visit to the Castle, including the tower itself, the dungeons and the battlements. It usually lasts 1 hour and a half to 2 hours ... depending on how curious the group is! The guide will tell you stories about the Castle, not only about its construction but also about its history and the Kirkpatrick family, their connection with Robert The Bruce and William Wallace and their roles in the Scottish Independence. And of course don´t miss the stories about the curse of the family and the ghost! 

How much is a private guided tour? For groups up to 10 people, the tour is £50 to be paid on CASH on the day. If your party is larger than that then please contact us.

Am I allowed to take pictures? Pictures outside and inside the property in the public areas are allowed AND DO NOT FORGET TO LEAVE US A REVIEW.

Will I have access to the souvenirs? Of course you will. Indeed, I encourage you to buy some of our exclusive souvenirs at the end of the tour.

How do I book a tour?  Send an email tours@closeburncastle.com or message on Facebook. Just let me know your dates and we´ll arrange a day/time together.
