Culzean Castle takes five-star tourist award
4 August-
Culzean Castle has been awarded a five-star rating by Visit Scotland
Culzean Castle and Country Park is celebrating success as a top-quality visitor attraction today.
The National Trust for Scotland-run castle, widely regarded as Robert Adam’s greatest masterpiece, and its extensive country park have been confirmed again as a five star tourist attraction by Visit Scotland.
Culzean was first awarded the five star rating in 2005 and has undergone regular assessments since then. The latest took place early in July.
The property has already welcomed more than 90,000 visitors since March this year.
The property is one of a handful of Scottish castles to attain the coveted five star award.
Property Manager Paul Pomfret said: "We know that Culzean Castle and Country Park is a first class destination for visitors from near and far and it is fantastic to have that confirmed again by Visit Scotland. It is our great privilege to care for some of the most wonderful interiors, artworks, gardens and woodlands in Scotland and we know that visitors get a great deal out of trip here.
"Our dedicated staff and volunteers work very hard to ensure that our visitors have the best possible experience and it is great to have that recognised."
And there's more to come at the castle, as Culzean is host to a varied programme of events this summer. August highlights include:
Saturday 7th August: British Longbow Society Meeting
Tuesday 10th August: Culzean's Gardens - walk with expert gardens staff
Thursday 12th August : Pride and Prejudice performance
