A little castle by the beach, but unfortunately it was closed when we visited. The courtyard had cannons out the front. Their were building works in the vicinity and lovely views over the beach and ocean
Very atmospheric and impeccably maintained. Wish Scottish people looked after our resting places with so much care and attention
The place was closed when we went at around 11.00, returned a little later and it was still closed. There were no signs to say what was happening and whether they were opening on that day or not. Only a sign saying closed.
Nice place for hosting events. Beautiful view to the ocean. At the moment, it hosts a nice photographic exhibition. You should be aware of the opening times to access it. The exhibition is free.
Fantastic 400 year old building,now used for displays of art work and music.
The Castle is very small but well built. Interestingly it has a draw bridge with a couple of cannons displayed in front of it. While I was there opening times were advertised but it was actually closed. I was quite disappointed. If you like castles, you won't want to miss this. There is another at Martinez quay which also displays cannon and takes about 15 minutes walk along sea front
Didn't get to go inside but this is a lovely spot. Perfect at the end of the day. Stacked rocks behind and a pleasant walk back into town along the angry waterfront!
