Dunnottar Castle
RM
Keywords
Castle ruins, near Stonehaven, Scotland; fortification; fortified; defence; defensive structure; fallen down; collapsed; historic; history; rock; impregnable fortress
Description
The rock on which Dunnottar Castle stands might have been designed specifically to permit the building of the most impregnable fortress in Scotland. Sheer cliffs 160ft high almost completely surround a flat area over three acres in size. The rock itself was once joined by a narrow fin to the mainland, but even this was carved away to ensure access along it was not possible. There were only two ways in or out of Dunnottar Castle. The first was via the incredibly strongly defended main gate set in a cleft in the rock where unwanted callers would be vulnerable to attack from all sides. The second was via a rocky creek leading to a cave on the north side of the rock. From here a steep path led up the cliff to the well defended postern gate. Given Dunnottar's obvious defensive qualities, it is no surprise to find that it has been home to fortifications of one sort or another for most of the past two thousand years and probably much longer. The very name "dun" is Pictish for fort and it is believed that St Ninian came to Dunnottar in the late 400s, converting the Picts to Christianity and founding a chapel here. The Annals of Ulster record a siege of Duin Foither in 681, at what was likely to have been Dunnottar. Dunnottar is also a possible site for a battle between King Donald II and the Vikings in 900, and it is thought that a raid into Scotland by land and sea by King Aethelstan of Wessex in 934 targeted the fortifications here. Mentions of Dunnottar become more reliable and frequent from

Tantallon Castle

Keywords
Castle ruin; defensive; defence; fortification; stonework; moat; tower; curtain wall
Description
Two miles east of North Berwick is a rocky headland surrounded by cliffs offering stunning views north to the sea-bird colony on Bass Rock. Anywhere else, Bass Rock would dominate the attention, but here it takes second place to the remarkable curtain wall of Tantallon Castle. A visit by Oliver Cromwell's army in 1651 has ensured that Tantallon Castle is but a shadow of its former self. But what remains is dramatic and impressive, offering considerable scope for exploration and plenty of opportunity for sufferers of vertigo to check whether they've overcome it yet. Stairs allow access to the walkway running most of the length of the curtain wall and to the top of the Mid Tower. In its heyday Tantallon Castle's main structure comprised a 12ft thick curtain wall built right across the headland, protected by a deep ditch cut through the rock in front and by the natural cliffs on the remaining three sides. At the north-west end of the wall was the large circular Douglas Tower, offering 6 storeys of accommodation for the Douglas family who held sway here through most of the castle's life. Very little of it was left standing by Cromwell's artillery. At the south-east end of the curtain wall was the East Tower, originally five storeys high but again largely destroyed in 1651. Not quite centrally placed was the Mid Tower, also five storeys in height and the best preserved of the towers. Behind the protection of the curtain wall was the close with, on its north side, the remains of the hall block
