Forse Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Latheron, Scotland
The remains of Forse Castle stand on a peninsula 50 meters above sea level, surrounded by steep rocks and protected by natural defenses.
The Sutherland family maintained control of Forse Castle from its construction in 1200 until approximately 1600, establishing it as a regional stronghold.
The castle demonstrates the architectural methods of medieval Scottish builders, who incorporated local materials into defensive structures along the Highland coast.
Located at coordinates 58.285°N and -3.325°W, the castle site requires careful navigation due to the surrounding cliffs and lacks modern facilities.
A deep natural ditch at the peninsula's neck separates the castle from the mainland, creating an additional defensive barrier for the structure.
