Scope and Content Engraved view of Ravenscraig Castle, Kirkcaldy, Fife Originally built for James II's widow, Mary of Gueldres, work began on Ravenscraig Castle in 1460, and continued on and off until it was granted to William Sinclair, Earl of Caithness in 1470. There have been various alterations and additions since. This mid-19th century engraving shows the castle is roofless and out of use. Sited with defence in mind, the castle formed itself around a promontory and would have been accessible by sea. One tower sits two storeys higher than the other, partly due to the fall of the land. The main building of the castle is situated slightly inland, with associated buildings located on the seaward end of the promontory. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
