Bathed in golden evening light, Culzean Castle crowns the cliffs above the Firth of Clyde, its turrets and battlements encircled by fortified walls and sweeping green lawns. From this elevated angle, the castle’s commanding presence and dramatic setting are fully revealed — a testament to centuries of Scottish aristocratic heritage.

Published by J. Arthur Dixon under the ‘Hail Caledonia’ series (card no. 4843 W), this postcard was mailed from Ayr and postmarked 13 May 1987. It carries an 18p Queen Elizabeth II stamp and includes a personal handwritten note reflecting on a visit marked by rest, cool weather, and the beauty of the surroundings.

Culzean Castle, once the home of the Kennedy family and now under the care of the National Trust for Scotland, is among the nation’s most beloved stately homes. This postcard captures both its architectural splendour and its evocative coastal setting — a valuable keepsake for lovers of Scottish castles and national heritage.
