DALQUHARRAN.  

AYRSHIRE’S KEEP BY GIRVAN’S GENTLE STREAM.  

NOTABLE among the ancient castles of Scotland is this edifice  

at the bend of the Girvan Water, about six miles from the  

mouth of the river, best known of Ayrshire’s streams. Historical  

records show that the lands of “Delchorane” are confirmed to the  

Abbey of Crosragual by Edward Bruce, Earl of Garrick, in 1324,  

and the first laird of whom mention occurs is none other than  

Gilbert Kennedy (1747). The family history of the Kennedies  

must early have been associated with Dalquharran, for in an ambry  

on the first floor are still to be found the arms of the Kennedies  

of Culzean, although, at later stage in its history, Dalquharran  

was owned by the Kennedies of Girvan Mains, branch of the  

Cassillis stock. In his writings towards the end of the seventeenth  

century, William Abercrummie, referring to this structure, said:  

“The stately castle of Dalquharran, the building  

whereof is much improved by the additions lately  

made thereto, make it by far the best house in all  

that country surrounded by vast enclosures of  

wood that the country is not able to consume it  

by their building.”  

Dalquharran’s exterior is said by architectural authorities to be  

remarkable. An early describer says “the corbelling is of  

description very unusual in Scotland, being enriched with small  

ogee arch over the space between the corbells and very much more  

ornate than the straight lintel, recalling English rather than Scot-  

tish practice.” There still remain distinct indications that the  

castle had moat fed by the Girvan and that its grounds were  

laid out with gardens, bowling greens and other ornamental devices  

of the period. This ancient structure is still surrounded with fine  

woods as in Abercrummie’s day.
