taken 11 years ago, near to Dundonald, South Ayrshire, Scotland

Former Bailey at Dundonald Castle
Former Bailey at Dundonald Castle
The first use of this defensive site was an Iron Age hill fort, followed by a motte and bailey. The current structure is the second stone-built castle on this site, constructed in 1371 by King Robert II. Although only a small part remains, it’s still an interesting visit with spectacular views. This one shows the ground that was used long ago for the bailey. The visitor centre is on the left at the foot of the path.
