Turnberry Point and its lighthouse viewed from the paddle steamer "Waverley" on a beautiful late-July afternoon. The hotel in the background lies in another square.
Was the lighthouse built 'on' or 'near' the site of Turnberry Castle? Current maps seem to suggest the ruins, seen here to the right in the second photo inland of the lighthouse, are the remains of the castle. The castle was where Robert the Bruce spent his childhood, having probably been born there in 1274AD.
