Dingwall Castle
Dingwall Castle was a medieval royal castle in the town of Dingwall, eastern Ross-shire, Scotland, thought to have been founded by Norse settlers in the 11th century. It served as the seat of the Earls of Ross and changed hands several times across the Middle Ages before being abandoned around 1600 and largely levelled by 1817, with only fragments surviving today.

As it stood in 1507
The shape it held in its prime.
The surviving fragment is built of red-brown sandstone ashlar with lichen and weathering, showing narrow arched window openings and cross-shaped arrow slits, set on a low plinth with an iron fence at its base. The top has a low crenellated parapet. The fragment sits at street level beside a gravel forecourt and small garden, with deciduous trees behind and a paved road running past; the stonework is coursed and roughly squared.
