Castle Sinclair Girnigoe

Wick

Castle Sinclair Girnigoe was built around the late 14th to early 15th century on a rocky promontory, and was defended on the landward side by great ditches, spanned by drawbridges. The main feature of this castle is a three or four storey tower house, probably completed towards the end of the 16th century although there are the remains of 15th century buildings beneath it. It is the only castle in Scotland to be listed by the World Monuments Fund.
