What is recorded here

King William the Lion fortified Dunskeath Castle in 1179, creating a defensive ring work on a natural spur where steep slopes replaced the need for southern walls. Hugh Miller walked the grassy mounds in 1835, tracing the moat and outwork before ploughing and quarrying swallowed more of the line. A concrete gun emplacement later pierced the interior, proving that the hill has always belonged to whoever needed it for fighting.
