Tour Scotland video of Ravenscraig Castle on a visit to Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland. This is a ruined Scottish castle which dates from around 1460. The castle is an early example of artillery defence in Scotland. The castle was built around 1460 for the wife of King James II, Mary of Gueldres. In 1470, King James III decided to exchange the castle for Kirkwall Castle which had been owned by William Sinclair in Orkney. It thus became the property of the Sinclair Earls of Roslin who completed its construction.
