Not quite Culzean Castle but 3 miles Nth at Dunnure Castle. I took a photo inside and saw a figure of a man in 16th century clothing. (Unfortunately photo now unavailable). Sitting on the beach below the castle first I heard a bell ring/chime then on three occasions after I heard a pair of footsteps marching towards me from behind. It was so loud each time I had to spin round to see who was there but there was no one.
I'm trying to find more info on haunting sightings at Dunnure but I can't find anything. Can you share me advice on where to seek more info. Thank you.

When I was on a school trip at Culzean and it always sounded like someone was screaming then when we arrived at the castle there was some piping but me and one of my friends looked around and did not find any thing. On a separate trip with my family, there was a statue of a lady with a dress on she looked pale and cold, but as you all know statues can’t move right? Well this statue was no statue at all, it fit the description perfectly for the woman in 5he ball gown, th3 gown also looked very old so if someone can reply for me please do! I am so sorry I do not have any pictures
