The Venue

                     A five star International event like the Autoclassica required a truly five star venue. The National Trust for Scotland's Culzean Castle is without question an inspired choice.

                                                         

                     One of Scotland's major International tourist attractions, Culzean Castle resembles a storybook castle perched dramatically on a cliff commanding superb views across the sea to the mystical mountains of the Isle of Arran.

                                                                            

                           Culzean is a fantastic example of Robert Adam's genius and stands in no less than 560 acres of scenic Scottish coastland., Containing a wealth                      of interest streaching from shoreline through the Deer Park, Gas Court, Fountain Court and Swan Pond, with exhibitions to the mature parkland and  Castle gardens.

                                                                 

                    Facilities which will feature at the Culzean Autoclassica include the Five Star Eisenhower luxury accommodation suites within the castle and the superb castle dining room.

                                                                    

                      Among the many historic buildings located in the castle grounds for the pleasure and convenience of all is the Home Farm with it's classic style courtyard incorporating a visitor centre, restaurant and auditorium for presentations.

                                                       The ruined arch, viaduct, ice house, beautiful Camellia House and a unique Pagoda add further interest
