Resilient Ruins
Perched atop a 160 foot rock and surrounded on three sides by the North Sea, these dramatic and evocative cliff-top ruins were once an impregnable fortress. Dating to the 5th century, the castle is steeped in Scottish history. Perhaps the most important event was the siege of the castle in 1652, where the brave soldiers, protecting the Honours of Scotland, were the last resistance against Cromwell's English army before falling after 8 months.
