Tour Scotland photograph of the 16th century clifftop Dunskey Castle, overlooking the Irish Sea, near Portpatrick, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The present Dunskey Castle was built by the Adairs of Kinhilt, who also possessed the Castle of St. John in nearby Stranraer, around 1510. In 1620, it was acquired by Hugh Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery, who extended the building. In 1648 it passed to the Blair family, but was ruined by 1684.
