Ardstinchar Castle in South Ayrshire, Scotland, is said to have been built by Hugh Kennedy in the middle of the 15th century. The castle is now reduced to a fragment of the keep and a few wall foundations. The remains of Ardstinchar Castle, occupying the summit of a rock outcrop, consist of an irregularly shaped, four-sided court-yard with the main tower on the east and a second tower in the middle of the west wall. Mary Queen of Scots visited this Scottish castle.
