Findlater Castle

Highlight • Castle

Great viewpoint ruined castle right on the cliff edge. Some rooms still visible, but take care it's not an easy path and walls look cracked. Gives you a good insight into what it have been like to live in.

The sign on the road that points to this parking lot on a farm can only be seen quite late...
