Castles are tangible relics of a remarkable past, a lengthy heritage etched in stone, as well as with the blood and sweat of those who built, labored, fought, and died in their shadow. Ruins stir up in us a profound awareness of those past lives. Castles have a timelessness that is awe-inspiring. That they have endured centuries of warfare and the effects of weather is a testimony to the creativity and power of their medieval owners. How many of us will have such long-lasting success? Castles Unlimited was formed in recognition of the necessity to preserve these relics of history. We are dedicated to the promotion and study of British Castles.

After the destruction of the wooden castle in 1113, it was rapidly rebuilt in stone by the Viceroy Bishop Roger who spent "great and incalculable sums on it". This stone castle was destroyed in 1645 when Oliver Cromwell's army bombarded the castle using a battery of guns in the nearby Market Square. At the start of the 18th century, two windmills were erected on the site, grinding at different times rape seed for oil and tobacco snuff. During the early 19th century, the South windmill was demolished to clear the site for the present South Tower.

A large conical-roofed stairturret is corbelled out above the first floor level, and bartizans, with shot-holes crowning the top of the tower. The original entrance leads to a stair known as the 'Left-Handed Staircase', the story being that when Sir Andrew Kerr, who was himself left-handed, returned from Flodden in 1513 he had his followers trained to use their weapons with their left hands. This is said to be the origin of 'Corrie-fisted' or 'Kerr handed'.

From the beginning of time man's inability to live in peaceful co-existence with his neighbours has led to the need for him to build defences to protect himself and those in his care against a sometimes hostile world. The Scottish countryside is as rich as anywhere in Europe with mighty fortresses and fortified towerhouses providing concrete evidence of such endeavours.

It is about 2 miles (3.5 km) NE of junctions 9 and 10 at Kirkmuirhill on the M74 motorway. The castle was built on a ridge above the river Nethan. As with many Scottish castles the oldest part is a tower house. In this case it dates from about 1530 and was built by Sir James Hamilton of Finnart, Master of Works to King James V. The Hamilton family took sides with Mary Queen of Scots in the civil war after her abdication in 1567 and she spent some time at Craignethan castle in 1568. By 1579 her faction had been defeated and the castle's defences were largely destroyed on official orders.

Many centuries later in 1087, Bishop Gundulf began construction of the Castle. The stark drama of this ancient and imposing castle makes it well worth a visit in any season. Originally founded in 604 by Bishop Justus, Rochester Cathedral is the second oldest in England and a regular place of pilgrimage for historians and worshippers alike.
