The castle deteriorated in the 18th century but was restored in 1905 using stone from Balconie Castle and now looks in good condition despite its age. There is a museum with a collection of armour and musical instruments. The castle and grounds were donated to the town of Kilmarnock in 1975 and there is now a pleasant country park with a children's corner and collections of farm animals and rare breeds. The park is a favourite with the locals in spring time when it has a mass of daffodils.
There is a visitor centre and cafeteria.
