Title
Portincross or Pencross Castle [Portencross Castle]
Description
A square tower house stands on a rocky promontory illuminated by shafts of sunlight that are breaking out from behind heavy clouds above. There are houses within the castle grounds and a narrow road leads from the buildings around the edge of the craggy shoreline. There is a variety of boats on the sea and two men angling from the rocks at the water's edge.
