In May 2017, Ardrossan Castle reached the final six in Scotland's Dig It!
2017 Hidden Gems competition. Dig It! is celebration of Scottish archaeology
and is sponsored by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and Archaeology Scotland.
The aim was to find Scotland's best-kept heritage 'secret'. To celebrate this
success and to raise awareness of it, Ardrossan Castle Heritage Society organised
a Treasure Hunt on the Castle Hill 23 July 2017. William Wallace, shown above,
made an appearance. On 1 August 2017, it was announced that Ardrossan Castle
finished in second place.
