Glenapp Castle, Southern Scotland, Scotland

Hotel Description
People have been coming to stay at Glenapp for more than a century to escape from the pressures of the world. Our aim is to continue that tradition in the new millennium. We invite you to join us as our house guest at the beginning of this new era for Glenapp Castle Glenapp Castle was built in 1870 by the celebrated architect David Bryce for James Hunter, the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire. The castle and its lands were purchased in 1917 by James Lyle Mackay, subsequently the first Earl of Inchcape. His descendants owned the castle until 1982, during which time they expanded the estate considerably and enlarged and altered the castle to its present form. Jean, 1st Countess of Inchcape at Glenapp The McMillan family acquired the castle in June 1994, by which time it had sadly fallen into a very poor state of repair. Their daughter and son-in-law, Fay and Graham Cowan, made the castle their home, and embarked upon a lengthy restoration. Six years later, in April 2000, having restored Glenapp to its former grandeur, the Cowans opened the doors of the castle as an exclusive luxury retreat.
