Summary
| Description |
English:
Gylen Castle A sixteenth century castle that presents a forbidding appearance to any attacker coming from the sea, the main method of transport at the time. However, it almost inevitably proved vulnerable to siege and the Royalists surrendered to the covenanters on a false promise of clemency. The castle was torched and the defenders slaughtered.
