Village in South Ayrshire unitary authority, Scotland, 13 km/8 mi southwest of Ayr; population (2001) 4,550. Shoes and agricultural implements are manufactured here. Culzean Castle, built in the late 18th century and designed by Robert Adam, stands on a spectacular cliff-top site 6 km/4 mi to the west.
