“So strong a castle that it feared no siege… in shape it was like a shield for it has but three sides round it, with a tower at each corner… And I think that you will never see a more finely situated castle, for on one side can be seen the Irish Sea, towards the west and to the north the fair moorland, surrounded by an arm of the sea, so that no creature born can approach it on two sides without putting himself in danger of the sea.”
– Description of the castle from its siege by Edward I in 1300

A view from the south-west of this unique three-sided redstone castle, first constructed in 1277 and used up until its destruction in 1640. A typically brooding Scottish day gave some interesting light to work with.
