Walker said the castle is in the "middle of the countryside," making it a great place to reconnect with nature. But if visitors choose, they can explore nearby Largs, a charming Victorian seaside town.
Further afield, but sometimes visible when looking out to sea from the castle, are Scottish islands.
"There is a ferry going over to Cumbrae, which is a very nice little island," Walker said. "Straight opposite is the Isle of Bute, about six miles away, which is a Victorian gem."
The isle of Arran is also reachable from Largs, which Walker called "the microcosm of Scotland" because it is home to rolling hills, wildlife, and a variety of whiskey distilleries.
