Impressive ruined castle. Privately owned but open for visitors (need to buy a ticket). Hard to get a good view from outside the grounds as surrounded by high walls, fences and gates.
Scenic church next to the castle with a number of picnic benches.
Mary Queen of Scots was held here at one time (but then she seems to have been imprisoned in nearly every old house in the country!).
