Whitefield Castle, Medieval tower house in Kirkmichael, Scotland
The L-shaped stone structure of Whitefield Castle stands on a hilltop near Kirkmichael village, displaying traditional Scottish architectural elements from different periods.
Originally constructed in the 12th century under Malcolm Canmore as a hunting lodge, the castle received additional modifications by the Spalding family in 1577.
