The Bard’s Room
This beautiful sunny room is a twin/superking room, with its own ensuite bathroom. The large window gives views over the back lawn and Craufurdland Water.
The room is dedicated to Robert Burns, one of Ayrshire’s most famous sons, whose first edition of poetry was published nearby in Kilmarnock. The Craufurdland connection to Burns is through an original piece of his writing found within the castle archives.
This short epitaph is believed to have inspired his later poem “Grizel Grim”. This unique fragment offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of Scotland’s national bard.
