Black Jack Castle NO 709 535 NO75SW 1
A small precipitous promontory on the coast SW of Boddin is occupied by the remains of a castle. Excavations have shown that the site was defended by a ditch on the landward side and that the castle wall has been completely demolished except at the SW corner, where it measures about 2m thick.
