As it stood in 1542
The shape it held in its prime.
Sits on a steep intrusive crag with sheer cliffs on three sides and a long stone curtain wall running along the cliff edge. The castle is an irregular mass of interconnected stone buildings: long rectangular palace blocks with steep pitched slate roofs and dormer windows, several tower-like projections and bastioned curtain walls. The stone is pale grey-brown masonry; the site overlooks the town and river below with trees on the lower slopes and a defended outer approach facing the burgh.
