Innerwick Castle, Medieval castle ruins in East Lothian, Scotland.
The stone remains of Innerwick Castle stand on a rocky cliff above Thornton Burn, featuring remnants of walls, vaults, and a rock-cut defensive ditch.
The Stewart family constructed the castle in the 14th century, and it passed to the Hamiltons in 1398 before English forces destroyed it during the 1547 siege.
The castle grounds contain sections of the original tower and courtyard, representing the defensive architecture prevalent in medieval Scottish border fortifications.
The castle ruins remain inaccessible to visitors due to structural instability and require extensive stabilization work to ensure safety measures.
The castle site sits within Thornton Glen Wildlife Reserve, where rare fern species grow among the medieval stone structures.
