Cardoness Castle (HS)
Cardoness Castle (HS)
This 15th century tower house stands on a rocky platform above the Water of Fleet.
Scale this impressive tower house for panoramic views over Fleet Bay. Cardoness was built in the 1400s by the notorious McCulloch clan, as a stronghold against their neighbours. In 1501, one of them was prosecuted for stealing 1,500 animals from his own mother. The well-preserved prison shows the kind of reception their most unwelcome guests might expect.
