Ardross Castle
Ardross Castle was a c.14th-century fortified residence beside the sea at Elie and Earlsferry in Fife, Scotland. Built by the Dishington family it later passed to Sir William Scott of Elie and then to the Anstruthers. The site survives as ruins; the vaulted basement is visible above ground together with the remains of a later attached block.

As it stood in 1607
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact stone fortified house set close to the Fife coast, its lower vaulted basement visible at ground level with the mass of the main dwelling rising above and joined to a later attached domestic block; the surviving fabric is rough masonry with collapsed upper works in the present ruin. In its prime the composition would read as a connected multi-storey stone residence with continuous rooflines along the main block and the later wing, sited on low coastal ground.
