The Ayr Monopoly dice sees Culzean Castle landing on the game’s most expensive square Mayfair.

The National Trust for Scotland’s Operations Manager at Culzean Castle and Country Park Gareth Clingan says: “We are very honoured to take such a prestigious spot on the board and we hope that this encourages Ayr Monopoly players to pop along for a visit over the coming months.”

Some of the cards used in the game are Ayr-themed too. One card rewards players for putting their litter in a bin so not to inadvertently feed the seagulls.

Whilst a second one sees players scoop up two hundred Monopoly dollars for “hearing a ghost” at Culzean Castle.
