The ruined remains of Ravenscraig Castle are located near Kirkcaldy on the Firth of Forth in Fife, on a rocky outcrop between shingle beaches. Acquired by Lord Sinclair in 1470, as part of a swap with James III for the Earldom of Orkney, it remained in Sinclair possession until 1898, finally passing to the state for care in 1955. Although ruined, many structural elements remain as do many of the features of 15th-17th century castle life.
