In Scottish Gaelic, this is Caisteal na Sròn, or “castle of the promontory”. “Sròn”, though, is also the word for nose. So it’s the Castle of the Nose.

A nose really is just a face promontory

Never expected to see the old family castle on lemmy! Thanks OP.

For more fun Urquhart pictures, check out our clan crest. It has a naked lady with a sword! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Urquhart

What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.

Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world

Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world
