Kelburn Country Centre
The family home of the Earls of Glasgow, Kelburn has long been an inspiration for adults and a paradise for children. The castle, dating back to the 13th century, still lived in by the present Earl and family, is open to the public in July and August and provides an impressive background to exotic gardens, famous trees and many features of historical interest. The Kelburn Glen with its waterfalls and deep gorges is regarded as one of Scotland's most beautiful woodlands and leads to spectacular views over the islands of the Firth of Clyde.

Culzean Castle & Country Park:-
Like a storybook castle, this fantastic example of Robert Adam's genius stands dramatically on a cliff with superb views across the sea to the mountains of the Island of Arran.
Between 1777 and 1792 Adam converted an old fortified tower castle for David Kennedy, the 10th Earl of Cassillis, creating at Culzean (pronounced "Cullane") probably the finest Georgian castle in Scotland. Its Circular Saloon and Oval Staircase are acknowledged as Adam's final masterpiece.
Dunaskin Heritage Centre:-
Dunaskin Open Air Museum is set in a 110 acre site amidst the picturesque scenery of the Doon Valley. The site was originally an ironworks, built around 1850, and today it tells the story of the ironworks, coal mining and brickworks at Dunaskin through the eyes of the people who lived and worked there.
The Big Idea:-
It is a living laboratory for people who wish to think, to dream, to discover, to innovate and to invent. Most of all it is to excite and challenge the young – to unlock the quest for knowledge and understanding, at whatever level, and across a wide spectrum.
We believe that every visitor, no matter their age or background, will find something at The Big Idea which stimulates them to ask the questions – "why?" and "why not?"
We hope that everyone will leave having taken at least one inventive step during their visit and will wish to return many times to explore the exciting field of invention and discovery.
