Tour Scotland Dundonald Castle Glasgow Video. Dundonald Castle, Ayrshire, is a fortified tower house built for Robert II on his accession to the throne of Scotland in 1371 and it was used as a royal residence by the early Stewart kings for the next 150 years. It was said to be Robert II's favourite residence and it was here that he died in 1390.

A secret or Ley tunnel is said to link Old Auchans and Dundonald Castle. A local loch was being drained through a ditch when it was observed that the water was vanishing into the earth; locals thought that the tunnel had been breached.

Dundonald is now in the care of Historic Scotland and managed by the Friends of Dundonald Castle, it is open daily between April and October, there is also a tea-room and visitor centre.
