Redcastle, Medieval castle ruins in Killearnan, Scotland
The castle structure exhibits an L-shaped layout rising three stories high, built with red stone that influenced its current name.
William the Lion constructed the original fortress in 1179, known as Edirdovar, which remained one of Scotland's oldest inhabited houses until the 20th century.
The Mackenzie clan maintained control of the castle from 1492 to 1790, shaping the development and character of the Black Isle region.
The deteriorating condition of the structure requires visitors to observe the ruins from a distance to ensure personal safety.
During World War II, the military requisitioned the castle as a bomb storage facility, leading to modifications that accelerated its decline.
