Finlaystone Castle

Finlaystone Castle (House) stands in its own grounds just to the east of Port Glasgow. The building we see today dates from the mid-1700s but incorporates a much earlier tower house owned by the Cunningham's in the early 1400s. Reformer John Knox preached here in 1556 and the poet, Robert Burns was a frequent visitor. Today the house is at the centre of the Finlaystone Country estate; the gardens are open to the public and the house is available for weddings and events.
