Kirkoswald Castle
-
Description
"Kirkoswald has a ruined castle, which in 1210 received a license from King John to fortify the original structure and enclose the extensive park. The Castle was later destroyed by Robert the Bruce in 1314, but was rebuilt and extended in the late 15th Century. The whole site covered three acres, with the courtyard surrounded by a massive wall, and the main gate having a drawbridge over a moat. All that remains now is one monumental tower on the North side.....The Castle is now a ruin, is in a dangerous condition, and should only be viewed from the nearby public footpath...." -
