Greenan Castle
The lands on which Greenan Castle's ruins now stands was once
owned by the Davidson family in the 15th century, following which
it was passed on to John Reid, a burgess of Ayr in 1576, before
being bought by the Kennedy family of Baltersan. The Kennedys made
several expansions and renovations to the castle, with a carved
stone in the entrance lintel suggesting these were completed in
1603. Various members of the Kennedy family held residence at the
castle until around 1766, when the castle was abandoned to the
elements.
