Brims Castle, Tower house in Highland, Scotland
The L-shaped castle reaches three stories high with a square stair-wing and features small windows throughout its stone structure at Brims Ness point.
Construction of Brims Castle occurred between 1575 and 1625, remaining under Sinclair family ownership through different branches until the late twentieth century.
The castle grounds include a burial ground and a chapel dedicated to Saint John, representing the religious practices of Highland nobility.
Located 5 miles northwest of Thurso, the structure stands in dangerous condition, with restricted access due to its deteriorated state.
The first floor contained a hall connected to a vaulted basement through a private stair, while each upper floor housed separate bedrooms.
