BALTERSAN CASTLE

Caisteal Baltersan

Baltersan 2

In shadowed Ayrshire, where the tempest sighs,
Stands Baltersan Castle 'neath the brooding skies.
Ancient stones, draped in the veil of despair,
Whisper secrets of sorrow in the chilling air.

A specter of grandeur, its turrets reach high,
Beneath the pallid moon, like a ghostly sigh.
The winds weave their mournful, melodic lament,
As echoes of lost souls in the twilight are spent.

Ivy-clad ruins, where time’s fingers trace,
The remnants of laughter, now lost in this place.
Yet, in the stillness, a haunting allure,
In Baltersan's shadows, the heart finds its cure.

The Laird of Baltersan

SAVING

THE PAST

embracing

THE FUTURE

Four hundred years, a silent sentinel, Its stones have weathered, time's relentless swell. A derelict husk, where shadows creep and hide, A forgotten relic, of a bygone pride.

Yet, hope flickers, a spark ignites anew, A second life for Baltersan to pursue. No longer haunted by the past's cold hand, A beacon it shall rise, throughout the land.

A haven for the arts, a stage for song, Where Scottish treasures, proudly shall belong. A symbol of resilience, a testament to grace, As Baltersan reclaims its rightful place.

An allegory unfolds, a sign, a clue, A stranger's hand, to bring Baltersan through.

So let us join this venture, hand in hand, To restore this castle, throughout the land. A beacon of the arts, a Scottish pride, Where history and hope, forever intertwined.
