Crookston Castle in Glasgow. Built around 1400, it's the only surviving medieval castle in the city, and is its the second oldest building, after Glasgow Cathedral. Extensively damaged in a seige in the 1540s, it was later repaired. However, now only the northeast of the original four corner towers remains standing.

My #Fensterfreitag entry this week is from Stirling Castle in Stirling, Scotland. At the time I didn't know the significance of the family crests but these are the nobles of the court of James IV and many died at the Battle of Flodden.
This picture was taken in March or 2019.

The ruins of Mugdock Castle in Mugdock Country Park just outside Glasgow.
Built in the 14th Century, this was a curtain wall castle. This meant it consisted of a series of towers connected by high, crenellated walls.
This style of castle replaced the older motte-and-bailey design in Scotland in the 13th Century. The tower at its south-west corner is all that remains of the original castle.

Gun loop - Barnes Castle near Haddington, East Lothian, SE Scotland. Construction of the castle was probably started by Sir John Seton of Barnes but he died in 1594 and it was never completed. #ScottishCastles #Castles #Archaeology

Heritage Castle in the Scottish Borders couldn’t have looked any more forbidding in the November rain yesterday, or any less remote. If you ignore the inevitable dilapidation of the ruined kirkyard, you could be stepping back in time 800 years.
