From Ravenscraig Castle
Although this small lookout tower appears to belong to the castle, I think it was built at a later date, more as an ornamental folly, Ravenscraig castle was on of the first Castles built to withstand attack by canons.
The Castle of Ravenscraig fell into the hands of the St Clair Family who were in actual fact Norse royalty, and the Shetlands and other isles around there were the property of Norway.
The Chapel of Roslin across the Forth was built by the St Clairs, also those who read/seen The Da Vinci Code will no doubt know this already, but it may also interest many that quite few of the Masonic Lodges also take their name from the St Clairs.
