I was incredibly pleased to stumble on this photograph on Flickr where it was posted by a user called Doberman. It is the only image of this dial I have ever managed to see. Sorn Castle overlooking the River Ayr is situated 4 miles east of Mauchline next to the B743. The earliest parts of this castle were built in the early 1400s for the Hamilton’s. Although Sorn is a sporting estate most of the year, fishing /shooting, the castle is open to the public for four weeks each year, 2006 from Sat July 15th - Sat August 12th /1400 - 1600. For enquiries contact Mrs R.G. McIntyre by phoning 01290 551 555. |
