Turnberry Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Marjorie of Carrick held the young Robert de Brus captive at Turnberry until he agreed to marry her, a bargain that placed the Bruce line inside the castle walls and set the stage for a kingdom. Robert the Bruce later recovered the fortress from English hands in 1307, then ordered it destroyed in 1310 so no one else could claim it. The sea has taken most of that decision since, leaving only vaults, caves and a lighthouse built on the castle’s own bones.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Turnberry Castle as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Turnberry Castle was built by the Maxwell family in the late 13th or early 14th century and later held by the Douglas family. It is important as a strategic coastal stronghold and is remembered for its role in the Wars of Scottish Independence and its association with Robert the Bruce.
