It’s a amazing abandoned castle, still in perfect condition and you can walking inside even get to first floor with lovely sea view. It’s free to visit and can often park in local holiday park.

Wonderful and inspiring building. Amazingly constructed for strength with metre plus thick walls using a variety of stone. It must have been a remarkable sight in its time. Shame about the litter left behind by visitors. Very popular on the sunny afternoon that we visited having walked over from Portpatrick.

One of the best coastal castle ruins in Scotland. 10 minutes walk from car park. Has a unique gritty

Great little walk up to the castle from Portpatrick harbour. Takes about 15mins. There is on quite steep section. But after that, quite flat. The views our over the sea and coast are stunning. The castle itself is worth seeing and worth the short hike up the hill.

Nice free to enter castle. You can walk from Portpatrick fairly easily. The stairs up the hill might be tough for older folks. The path leads along the top of the cliff, over a wee bridge then you get your first glimpse of the castle.The castle itself is pretty small but worth a visit. Nice views out over the water and a nice grass area for picnics.

Great walk & the coastline was beautiful. So happy I made the journey today. The castle is all ruins & there were only 5 other people visiting when I did.

Lovely ruin in a breathtaking location. The hike up to the castle is a great experience in its own right. Stop for a while and soak up the atmosphere - you won't regret it.

Ruined castle sat on the edge of the clifftop. You can walk from the car park in port patrick or park in the car park at the back of the campsite near the castle.Wonderful views

Ruined clifftop castle a short walk from Portpatrick. Dramatically set high on the cliff.Easy access with stairs to the second level.Well worth the walk from Portpatrick.No admission charge

Love this place. Still in pretty good condition for a ruined castle. Had me thinking it would be easy to bang a new roof on and clean it up a little to turn into a lovely little homestead. You have to come through a holiday park to get to it. There's a small parking area at the very end, then it's a couple of minutes walk to the castle.
