The first castle was built on this spot in 1478, and it has been remodelled over centuries. It’s now an example of Renaissance architecture built in warm red sandstone. Once hidden behind the buildings and equipment of the Clyde’s shipyards, today the castle is a rediscovered treasure that offers fantastic views.
See what life was like for the servants who worked in the castle, and take a look inside the bed chamber with its painted ceiling and panelled walls.
