Brough Castle (Caithness)

Brough Castle is a ruined castle near Brough, Caithness. It is believed to date from the 12th to 14th centuries.

Description

The foundations of the castle are on the landward end of a long rocky promontory about north of the east end of the hamlet of Brough. A trench some wide and deep has been dug across the neck and on either side of the rock; in rear of it has been a range of buildings separated by a narrow courtyard or passage. The keep is not recognisable. The promontory tails away seawards to a shelf of rock. There appears to be no history of this castle.
