This 14th-century Scottish keep is surrounded by an 18th-century estate with homes and gardens. Located the on the Isle of Bute, the current owners are renting out five of its cottages for tourists.

Kames Castle dates from the 14th Century at which time it was the seat of the Bannatyne family, whose roots can be traced back to the reign of King Alexander III of Scotland. The Bannatynes of Kames were believed to be Chamberlains to the Stewart Kings when Bute was part of the Royal Estates and the title of Lord Kames was bestowed on William Bannatyne in the 19th Century before it came into possession of the Marquess of Bute.
