What is recorded here
Killochan Castle, Stables in South Ayrshire, Scotland, date from the 18th century and stand as a rare surviving part of a larger castle estate. They may have held horses for travellers, officials or castle workers, but the absence of a named owner leaves that purpose as possibility rather than fact.
