Ardross Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Elie, Scotland
The remaining sections of the fortress include two rectangular stone fragments positioned 13 meters above the beach, featuring walls 1.8 meters thick.
The Dishington family constructed the castle in the 14th century, and later sold the property to Sir William Scott of Elie in 1607.
The design of Ardross Castle reflects medieval Scottish defensive architecture, with its vaulted basement and connecting walls between different sections.
The castle ruins stand on the coast of Fife, with the northern fragment dating from the 15th century measuring 8.75 meters by 11.2 meters.
The structure includes remnants of a spiral staircase at its southeast corner and evidence of additional buildings that once connected to the main tower.
