What is recorded here
Broughty Castle and harbour is a castle, fort or tower in Dundee City, Scotland. Perhaps water climbed the castle walls during storms, forcing residents to abandon lower rooms and carry everything upward. Maybe the harbour existed before the castle, meaning ships rather than soldiers decided where the stones belonged.

Broughty Castle was built by the Earls of Angus in the 14th century and later held by the Earls of Strathearn. It is important as a strategically located fortress controlling the Firth of Tay and as one of Scotland's best-preserved medieval castles.
