Roslin Castle: Stonehaven Harbour, Stonehaven Bay, North Sea

Lugger (19th Century)

What is recorded here

Roslin Castle was a nineteenth-century lugger working Stonehaven Harbour and the rough waters of Stonehaven Bay. Its name suggests a builder or owner proud enough to place a castle at the heart of the sea, but the ship itself was the real monument: wooden, busy, exposed to the North Sea, and answerable to no palace guard. It may have carried fish, stone, or people between ports, appearing and disappearing like a rumour in the harbour.
