Dingwall Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Dingwall, Scotland.
The remains of Dingwall Castle include a narrow underground vault and two substantial masses of masonry standing on a 100-foot diameter mound.
Norse settlers constructed the original castle in the 11th century, which later became a strategic stronghold during the Wars of Scottish Independence.
The castle's corner tower was converted into a dovecot under Andrew, Bishop of Caithness, who served as keeper from 1507 to 1516.
Visitors can explore the circular tower measuring 2.6 meters in height and examine the underground barrel vault accessible from the garden area.
A secret tunnel once connected Dingwall Castle to Tulloch Castle, with remnants visible through an air vent at Tulloch Castle grounds.
