Ayton Castle is widely regarded as one of Scotland's finest baronial style buildings and was designed by James Gillespie Graham, Scotland's leading Gothic revival architect of the early 19th century. The Castle is a magnificent example of a Scots baronial house, primarily over two storeys, with a five storey 'Great Tower'.
There is an array of secondary accommodation at the lower ground floor and basement/courtyard levels including the former servants hall and various store rooms and adjacent accommodation arranged around the service courtyard.
Approximately half the policies are grazing and half are woodland, all of which are in hand.
