Stunning Culzean Castle has been named among "the most beautiful" in Europe by a top travel outlet.
The grand location in Carrick featured among a must-see list of medieval buildings published by Brazilian travel guide Vegas Pelo Mundo.
Culzean, the former home of the Marquess of Ailsa, ranked ninth on a list which featured only two Scots locations.
