Situated on Luce Bay at the far side of a caravan park, pub and restaurant, is a really interesting 16th century castle much altered over the centuries to a mansion, now very ruinous and neglected.

There are many interesting features that you can see from the outside of the castle, and there is a gate that takes you to the rear of the castle all.
