Castle of Cadden NO 858 748 NO87SE 3
What is probably a medieval fortification, known as Castle of Cadden, occupies a precipitous promontory which juts out from the coastal cliffs 300m ESE of Kinnett parish church. The promontory is enclosed by a low bank, and the only possible line of approach, from the WNW, is cut off by a ditch broken only by an entrance-causeway. Along the cliff edge on the SW, a short stretch of lime-mortar masonry is visible, and on the NNE side of the interior there are possible traces of a range of buildings.
