The headland has been fortified since as early as the 9th century, though the current ruins are those of the 15th and 16th century buildings.
It is best known for being the site where the Scottish Crown Jewels were hidden from Oliver Cromwell.
12 of the structures on the site are listed buildings, and the site itself is a scheduled monument - meaning that is is an historic site of national importance that is protected from change.
