This is a fine example of Adam's "castellated" style (i.e., built with turrets and ramparts) for the once powerful Kennedy clan. After World War II, the castle was given to the National Trust for Scotland. Notwithstanding its architectural attributes - whether the celebrated round drawing room or the outstanding Oval Staircase - the pile is of special interest to many Americans because General Dwight D. Eisenhower was given an apartment for life here. He reputedly called Culzean "a place [where] I can relax." Undoubtedly the mansion's location near so many outstanding golf courses, such as Turnberry , also pleased the golf-mad U.S. president. Today, tourists can use his six-room top-floor flat as holiday accommodations. Fans of the Scottish cult horror film, The Wicker Man, should recognize that scenes were filmed here.
