Exploding canons, revolutionary architecture and a queenly patron; this backyard castle has it all! Join Dig It! TV and The Castle Hunter as they advance upon the formidable entrance to Ravenscraig Castle near Kirkcaldy, Fife. A design of epic proportions, this impressive royal residence turned imposing fortress has defended its inhabitants from deadly sieges, and even features in Walter Scott’s epic poem, ‘Lay of the Last Minstrel’.

I just traced direct ancestry to this castle through the Sir Wilsons - the Earls of Cupar. I am a New Englander but would like to visit one day. Thank you for a great tour. I've subscribed. I have been to Europe about 25 times (pre covid) but not to Scotland yet. It is high on the list. Especially with the ancestral ties for many centuries before my Great great grandparents decided to come to America.

Sir William Sinclair 2nd Lord Sinclair was my 13th Great-Grandfather on my mothers side of the family. He supposedly inherited that castle. Thank you for making this video and sharing some of the history. All my best from Tennessee in the United States of America. :)

Hi...Thank you for the awesome tour and history ! My 15th GG was Eleanor Sinclair, said to be born in the Castle in 1547. I am from the USA, but hope to visit Scotland in the future...
