Rosyth Castle, Tower house ruins in Dunfermline, Scotland
The remains of Rosyth Castle stand near the Firth of Forth, featuring thick stone walls, narrow windows, and defensive architectural elements from medieval times.
Built in the late 15th century by Sir David Stewart, the castle remained in the Stewart family's possession until the end of the 17th century.
The inscriptions 'M R' above the north entrance commemorate Queen Mary Stuart's return from France to rule Scotland in 1561.
The castle site opens for guided tours during specific seasons, allowing visitors to examine the medieval fortification techniques and architectural details.
Land reclamation in the early 1900s transformed the castle's original island setting into mainland territory connected to the naval dockyard complex.
