Scotland's past is intricately bound up with her fine heritage of castles, and in this series, Ian Grimble examines the architecture and history of 12 of the country's most splendid examples.

Culzean Castle is Robert Adam's masterpiece, dominating the coast of Ayrshire in what has been called the most beautiful national park in the British Isles. The last of the Kennedy castles to be built, its restoration has been the greatest triumph of the National Trust for Scotland. Here too, is Scotland's memorial to the Supreme Allied Commander of the Second World War, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
