One of the oldest castles in
Scotland,
Kelburn is now also one of the most modern.
Kelburn castle was built in the 13th century, remodelled in the 16th century, and opened to the public, as a country park, in 1977. It’s one of many beautiful castles in
Britain, but
Kelburn stands out through its bizarre, grafitti-covered exterior. In 2007, after experts told him the outer facing would have to be replaced in order to prevent further damage to the castle walls, the
Earl of Scotland invited grafitti artists to prove their skills on the walls.
The grafitti-painted walls of
Kelburn Castle will be reconditioned in 2009 at the earliest, so you still have time to admire one of the most unusual-looking
medieval castles in the world.
