What is recorded here

Loch Doon Castle (re-located) stands in East Ayrshire, Scotland, wearing the bones of a building that refused to die in one place. A castle should belong to a hill, a valley or a river bend, but this one answered a human request to move and obeyed. Doon water may have pulled it from its first life, given it a new shadow and forced the stones to remember two addresses at once.

Loch Doon Castle (re-located) is shown as a castle on the public map of East Ayrshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Loch Doon Castle was originally built in the 13th century by the Maxwell family, a powerful Scottish noble clan. It is remembered for its strategic location on a tidal loch and its role in local history, including its use as a stronghold and its association with the Balliemeanoch estate.
