Fife, Kirkcaldy - Port Brae The short stretch of beach at Port Brae in Kirkcaldy lies directly in front of the ruins of Ravenscraig Castle on the northern shore of the Firth of Forth. Ravenscraig Castle was one of, if not the earliest artillery forts built in Scotland. Kirkcaldy unusually for a Scottish town, did not have a surrounding town wall and the castle which was built in the 15th Century for James II was constructed to withstand cannon fire. The bay in front of Ravenscraig Castle curves east for a short distance and a defensive castle wall runs along here to an old dovecote and a lookout tower. File 7859.
