Glengarnock Castle
DigVentures crowdfunded a dig to unearth a storm-ruined medieval castle in Scotland
Perched on a narrow outcrop overlooking the River Garnock, the site of Glengarnock Castle has incredible views over the surrounding landscape, and is naturally defended by a brawling stream that rushes through a rocky ravine over eighty feet below.
In 1839, this impressive three-storey castle was struck by a huge storm. Today, only half the Keep, a central courtyard, and a vaulted chamber remain standing; the rest lies buried below ground.
When was it built? By who? What was the original groundplan? And can the buried ruins help us to reveal the castle’s full story?
