Caprington Castle, Stables stands in East Ayrshire as a surviving element of a larger estate, its exact age still unrecorded. The distinction between castle and stable matters because the horses needed rooms as much as the people did. Whether the stables served warriors, workers or visitors remains unclear, but the choice to build them beside a castle shows that mobility and status went together.
