Picked up some food from the Lidl in Kircaldy and then ate in on a picnic table on a beach park just west of the castle. From there (free parking), it's just a short stroll around the back end of the castle on the beach,...More

Disappointed!

My boyfriend and I drove a fair distance to see Ravenscraig Castle and were disappointed by how little we could see. We couldn't enter the fortress. The close proximity of modern buildings reduced the romance that usually comes with castle ruins in Scotland, too. I...More
