Boddam Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Boddam, Scotland
The stone remains of Boddam Castle stand on elevated ground, featuring remaining sections of walls and towers that date from the late 15th century.
The Keith family of Ludquharn constructed Boddam Castle during the 16th century as a defensive stronghold along the Aberdeenshire coast in northeastern Scotland.
The castle structure represents traditional Scottish defensive architecture with thick stone walls, characteristic of medieval military engineering in northern Britain.
Access to the castle ruins requires careful navigation of uneven terrain, and visitors should wear appropriate footwear while exploring the historical site.
Castle cannons remained partially buried in the surrounding bank until 1776, indicating the strategic military position of this coastal fortification.
