I've not found a great match for the photo but I think this may be Thurso castle. Photos of it in a ruined state seem to show the same side and wall, older photos taken from the landward side show the frontage reflecting the details visible from the side.

What do others think?

Not sure this link will work, george washington wilson archive, university of aberdeen, thurso castle from terrace http://digitool2.abdn.ac.uk/view/action/singleViewer.do?dvs=1428220735783~124&locale=en_GB&VIEWER_URL=/view/action/singleViewer.do?&DELIVERY_RULE_ID=10&application=DIGITOOL-3&forebear_coll=1054&frameId=1&usePid1=true&usePid2=true

In the words of the immortal Victor Mildrew "I don't believe it!"  :D :D :D   ;D ;D ;D  How on earth did you ever find it! 

I was floored when you identified the first ruin, but this is just amazing!

Unbelieveable Still_Looking, and what an appropriate Rootschat name you have!   ;D ;D ;D

Another legend!  Thank you so very much!  :) :) :) :)

Still_Looking, yes ! I have to agree with you on Thurso Castle, well done,  ;D ;D.   Caz' s mysteries are all being solved one by one.  There's a photo on this site and more on Google images.

And here

They are Jools!  In just a couple of days, we've gone from two out of six to five out of six identified and that doesn't include the amazing side identification by Mosiefish of the wing at Burham Beeches!   ;D

Thanks for posting that Sue.  I shall add to the one I have, to show an alternate view!  :) :)

No doubt is there!   ;D ;D  Very brilliant SL!  ;D ;D

Thanks for posting this Mo, saves me tearing my hair out again!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Only sad thing of course is how much it has deteriorated and become nothing more than a ruin.  :(

Thanks folks.

It was found when I decided to look for one of the others. I'd encountered Ackergill before which has some vague similarities but had never noticed anything else in Caithness. Decided to narrow the search to Caithness and hey presto there it was.

The less said about several days before that of going round the coastline of Scotland, England, Wales etc. On google maps the better!
