Red Castle...

High on a grassy bluff overlooking Lunan bay are the ruins of Red Castle. Much of this was built in the 1100s, with a keep added in the 1300s.
William the Lion (William I) used the castle while hunting and it stayed in royal hands until given by Robert the Bruce to the Earl of Ross in 1328...
