Crookston Castle: above the Lord's Bedchamber

This room, in the north-eastern tower of Crookston Castle, is immediately above the one shown in Image, and the view direction is the same: the steps in that picture lead to the opening at the lower left corner of the present picture. The north-eastern tower is the only one that survives to its full height, and there is one more storey above this one. The castle would originally have been more symmetrical (see Image), but other towers have been destroyed. The barred window on the right is the lower of the two that can be seen, one above the other, high up on the left-hand side in a picture of Image When there were floors in the central part of the castle, this "window" would have been a doorway. For the next room up, see Image
