Crookston Castle: the Great Hall

Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 24 Mar 2014

The picture was taken within what remains of the Great Hall, now roofless; its fireplace is a prominent feature: Image The doorway to the right of the fireplace leads to a spiral staircase (Image), which in turn leads to the Lord's Bedchamber (Image); from there, modern metal rungs give access to another two storeys above that one (Image and Image – the barred windows of those rooms can be seen in the present picture), and finally to the rooftop; its fence can be seen at the upper left corner of the picture. Those rooms and the rooftop (Image) are parts of the north-eastern tower, the only one of the towers to survive to its full height; compare Image For a view from the fenced-off area at the top-left corner of the present picture, see Image The place from which the present picture was taken can be seen in that view.
