Slains Castle, also known as New Slains Castle to distinguish it from the nearby Old Slains Castle, is a ruined castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It overlooks the North Sea from its cliff-top site one kilometre (5 ⁄ 8 mile) east of Cruden Bay. The core of the castle is a 16th-century tower house, built by the 9th Earl of Erroll. [1]
The castle was restored in the 20th century and is now open to the public. The ruins of the castle are spread over 1.4 hectares (3 + 1 ⁄ 2 acres), surrounded by steep cliffs that drop to the North Sea, 160 feet (50 metres) below. A narrow strip of land joins the headland to the mainland, along which a steep path leads up to the gatehouse.
The castle has been cited as a Disney-like fairytale castle, [18] [19] an abandoned or deserted castle, [20] a quirky North Carolina destination, [21] and the most bizarre building in North Carolina. [22] Much rumor and lore has been built around Castle Mont Rouge and its creator, Robert Mihaly.
