SO this is a tough ask, but maybe I will get lucky. IN 1998 I took a trip to Scotland by myself. I found a really really neat ruin of a castle. It was on the east coast, i THINK north of St Andrews, but it MAY have been before. IT was pretty much a ruin, just a few walls rising out of the peninsula it stood on. It was not well marked, and did not have a parking lot etc. I just pulled over on the side of the road, hoped a fence and walked across a field. It was separated from the land by about a 7-8 foot gap, that was sheer, dropping into the surf/tide pools. Again the biggest thing I remember is that you could see the natural stone of the coastal cliffs (shale maybe) and then it would change over to the ruins of the walls. The only other thing is I recall it was near some sort of pottery or Wedgewood or crystal factory...I remember stopping there to look for a souvenir for my mother.
Anyone on this board have any ideas. I know if I saw pictures on google maps etc I would recognize it. Also for some reason, maybe it was on a calendar (circa 1998) of Scottish castles/ruins.
It was 100% not Dunnottar Castle.
