Cumbernauld Castle and House Exhibition

John Kirkhope is hosting a tented exhibition showing illustrations of the probably 12th century Motte and Bailey Castle of the Comyns, archaeological and map evidence with artist's impressions of the 14th century Castle of the Flemings and thirdly, pictures and plans of the various stages of development of the present William Adam House, built for John Fleming, 6th Earl of Wigton between 1731 and 1746.

Visitors should park their cars in the rear car park and following the signs, walk the short distance to the North entrance to the Park.
