Location: Go to the Multimap UK site : http://uk8.multimap.com/ and enter Skelmorlie (note different spelling), which is on the Ayrshire coast near Largs, about 15 miles South West of Glasgow. Change to the 50,000 scale and look down the coast to Meigle, where there is "Skelmorlie Castle (restored)". 2.) Information on the WWW: A Google search found the following sites: http://kirkscotland.freeyellow.com/ Kirk family website, featuring a picture of the castle. http://members.tripod.com/bbeacham/no_frames/main_planned_trips.html Site owners planning photographic trip during 2001 with various intended locations, including Skelmorlie Castle. http://members.tripod.com/~calija/montgomery.html Website for the Clan Montgomerie.Quote from site...."The old castle of Skelmorlie, near Largs, is now the home of the chiefs of the Montgomery clan" Other sites show that the Castle is operating as a hotel. Perhaps a direct contact might produce information from the current owners. Happy hunting, Regards Tom, Kent, England http://www.ayrshireroots.com/Towns/Skelmorlie/Old%20Views/Old%20Views.htm Pictures of Skelmorlie area - includes expandable thumbnail of Skelmorlie Castle.
