Culzean Castle enjoyed record breaking visitor numbers this year.

The National Trust has celebrated a successful summer of events across its historic sites in Scotland.

Members and the public enjoyed an array of summer events and activities including Scotland’s first ever dog water sports event at Culzean Castle.

The Trust experienced record breaking attendance at Culzean Castle & Country Park, as it welcomed over 3,000 visitors to Scotland’s inaugural Dog Splash event last month.

Visitors travelled from all over the UK & Ireland, and from as far as Germany, making it the Trust’s most popular event of the summer.

Patrick Duffy, chief operating officer at the National Trust for Scotland, said: “Summer is the busiest time of the year for us, and this year was no exception as adults and children took advantage of the better weather and made the most of the great outdoors.

“Combining action-packed water sports events with man’s best friend is always going to catch the eye of our members and the public, and this event has proven to live up to this expectation with Culzean’s record-breaking attendance over one weekend. We very much look forward to welcoming the show back next summer.”
