Scope and Content General 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. Following the contours of the site, the castle's towers are different heights. This is the taller west tower, which may originally have been intended as the Queen's lodging house, and is totally self-contained. The beach may have been used to land boats. Built with artillery defence in mind, the main building of the castle is located slightly inland, with the associated offices and outbuildings located on the seaward end of the promontory.
