Morton Castle, stands in a very scenic location on a promontory above Morton Loch. The castle is a hall-house, with some additions, that dates back to the late 14th century. t was built by the Earls of March on the site of an earlier castle that was destroyed in 1375. In 1459 it was acquired by the Douglases, later made Earls of Morton. It remained occupied until about 1715.
A small bit about it and on to the pictures.
