From the Wikipedia article
Raeberry Castle was a medieval stronghold on the rugged coast of Kirkcudbrightshire, Galloway, Scotland. Once the principal seat of the Scottish Clan MacLellan, the castle stood on a dramatic promontory overlooking the Solway Firth, southwest of the town of Kirkcudbright. Though no standing structures remain today, the site is rich in archaeological features and lies near other historic landmarks, including St. Margaret's Well of Kirkcudbright and the Neolithic stone circle known as Wallace's Putting Stone.
