Day 61 Turnberry to Stranraer 48mls

Still Waiting for our pot of gold!!
Turnberry Sunset 1- 10pm
Culzean Castle
Swan Lake
Cormorant Rock
Turnberry Sunset 2 - 10.30pm
Forgot to mention that yesterday we drove up the road known as the "Electric Brae". It is an optical illusion produced by the surrounding countryside. The road looks as if it is going uphill but in fact it is going downhill! Very spooky!
Another grey morning, so after returning our borrowed gas bottle, we decided to spend it at Culzean Castle, given to the NT by the Marquess of Ailsa and the Kennedy family in 1945. What a fabulous place with wonderful parkland grounds, where we enjoyed a long walk in one of the only dry patches of the day. After a coq-a-leekie soup in the cafe (complete with raisins??) we set off to find our next stop. Had no luck finding a calor gas outlet before arriving at a site in Stranraer at 4pm when it was throwing it down! It has continued to rain ever since. I knew the first 8 weeks were too good to be true!
