Dundonald Castle, located in South Ayrshire was constructed around 1371. Its initial owner was Robert II, a descendant of Robert the Bruce and the founder of the Stewart royal dynasty. He built the castle shortly after ascending the throne and eventually passed away there in 1390. While the castle continued to serve as a residence for nobility, it ceased being a royal residence by the 1590s. The Wallaces of Dundonald, who were the owners at that time, had moved to the nearby Auchans Castle. Inte
