Ravenscraig Castle
Ravenscraig Castle is a 15th‑century Scottish coastal castle on a narrow rocky promontory at Kirkcaldy, built with early artillery defences. The site comprises two large D‑plan towers linked by a central block with vaulted cellars and an artillery platform above; much of the outer buildings have fallen away and the ruins sit within a rock-cut ditch and causewayed approach. It is a scheduled monument managed for public access.

As it stood in 1480
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a narrow rocky promontory into the Firth of Forth, the castle presents two massive D‑shaped stone towers linked by a low central block facing the landward side; outer walls are very thick and rise to battlements and chimneys. Sea cliffs drop steeply on three sides; the landward front is defended by a deep rock‑cut ditch and a bridge to a gate through the central block. Vaulted cellars underlie the connecting block and an artillery platform with inverted keyhole gun‑holes crowns the link between the towers.
