Lochinch Castle Lochinch Castle is part of Stair Estates and home to the 14th Earl of Stair and his family. The Castle was built in 1864 by the 10th Earl and his wife after a fire left Castle Kennedy in ruins. The stables were built at the same time to house the family carriages, horses and grooms. Registered Charity No. 261017 (Scotland SCO39907) More than one in three people will get cancer. It’s the toughest fight most of us will ever face. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed, you need a team of people in your corner, supporting you every step of the way. The Castle and Stable Courtyard are available to hire for special events such as weddings, sporting and corporate events and can include accommodation.
