Red Castle On Visit To Lunan Bay On The Coast Of Angus Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Red Castle on ancestry visit to Lunan Bay in Angus. The original castle was built by the Barclays, and was used by William the Lyon for hunting. Robert the Bruce gave the castle to Hugh, 6th Earl of Ross, in 1328, and it later passed to the Stewart Lord Innermeath, and then to the Beatons. The castle was last occupied by an Episcopal minister, James Rait, and the property later passed to the Guthries. The castle was apparently intact until about 1748, and partially roofed until the 1770s. The beach is a popular destination for surfers and horse riders, and traditional fishing is still practiced here with nets strung on poles dug into the sand to trap fish in the receding tide. The beach is also a fantastic place to go bird watching All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
