Animated short film
Step inside the storied walls of Culzean Castle, perched dramatically on Scotland’s Ayrshire coast. This short film offers a sweeping yet intimate introduction to the castle’s rich history—from its origins as a modest tower house to its transformation into a grand 18th-century mansion designed by Robert Adam.
Through evocative visuals and thoughtful narration, we explore the lives of the Kennedy family, who shaped the estate across generations, and uncover the castle’s role in Scotland’s cultural and political landscape. Whether you're planning a visit or simply curious about its legacy, this film provides essential context to deepen your appreciation of Culzean’s architecture, its inhabitants, and its enduring place in history
