Thomaston Castle
Small ruined castle near Culzean Castle once owned by a nephew of Robert the Bruce. Now ruined but visitable. It is pretty intact in terms of the outside wall, but the interior is ruined.
The castle now sits beside a farm courtyard and has not been restored but remains in pretty good condition externally. Internally, there are plants and trees growing and the structure is not safe.
