Dunskey Castle
Dunskey Castle is a ruined medieval tower house on a rocky promontory near Portpatrick on Scotland's south-west coast. The three-storey L-plan stone building stands above sea cliffs with a defended landward approach and an adjacent cliff-edge watchtower; its south range survives only as foundations. The site is a scheduled monument and access is restricted by the owner.

As it stood in 1620
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact three-storey L-plan stone tower house sited on a rocky promontory above the sea, measuring roughly 30 by 14.3 metres with walls about 1.5 metres thick. The landward approach is defended by a rock-cut ditch c.15 m wide and 2.5 m deep to the north-east. A later north-east wing is attached and the foundations of a south range survive; a separate 7 m square watchtower stands on the cliff edge. At prime the main block was roofed and complete.
