In April of the year 2000, a very unique
and exciting event took place in the sleepy Scottish fishing
village of Ballantrae in Ayrshire. For the first time, after
many years of neglect, followed by a painstaking restoration
project, Glenapp Castle, a vast and spectacular Victorian mansion
set high above the village overlooking the Irish Sea and the
island of Ailsa Craig opened its doors as an exclusive luxury
hotel.
The castle has been the home of the Cowan family since 1994.
For six years their full time occupation has been the restoration
and conversion of the castle and its thirty acres of magnificent
gardens. That work is now finished and Glenapp has been restored
to its rightful glory. |
