Rothesay castle in Rothesay Bute Scotland part:2 End,พาชมปราสาทร้าง รอกเชร์
Hi everyone welcome Rothesay castle part:2 and thank you very much for watching really nice to see you here, some information about the Rothesay castle: ????
Once of the finest early medieval castles in Scotland, Rothesay Castle has seen dramatic sieges and the rise and fall of kingdoms. It has been a wooden Norse fortress, a Scottish stone keep, an English possession, and a royal Scottish fortress.
The castle surrounded by a moat and built on a round mound or motte, Rothesay Castle consists of an enormous 12th-century ropund shell keep, with four later massive round towers. In the late 15th century a large rectangular tower and gatehouse were added, built for comfort as well as defence, and then completed by James V after 1541. Parts of the castle, especially the gatehouse, were restored in the late 19th century. The sea was formerly much closer to the castle
The entrance leads through a long vaulted passage, in the floor of which is a trapdoor to a pit-prison. The first-floor hall can be reached by a narrow mural stair or by external steps within the castle walls. There were private chambers on the floors above the hall. The chambers house an exhibition about the castle and its royal owners.
The castle was attacked by Norsemen in the 1230s, who cut a hole in the wall with their axes. It was captured in 1263 by King Haakon of Norway, before he was defeated at the Battle of Largs. The Stewarts were keepers of the castle.
The castle was held by the English during the Wars of Independence, but was taken by Robert the Bruce, only to be captured again by the English in 1334, to be recaptured once again by the Scots
This was a favourite residence of Robert II and Robert III, who died here in 1406. In 1401 Robert III made his son David Duke of Rothesay, a title since taken by the eldest son of the kings of Scots and currently held by Prince Charles (David, himself, did not fare so well and was starved to death at Falkland before he could be king).
The castle was besieged by the Earl of Ross in 1462, the Master of Ruthven in 1527, and in 1544 was captured by the Earl of Lennox on behalf of the English. It had been visited by James V, who completed the gatehouse block. In the 1650s it was held for Charles I, but later taken by Cromwell, whose men damaged the castle. George Mackenzie of Rosehaugh in 1681 had a ratification for the barony of Bute, with the castle, fortalice and manor place of Rothesay.
Argyll’s forces torched the castle in 1685, and it was very ruined until 1816 when it was repaired and partly rebuilt – somewhat crudely – by John Crichton-Stuart, 2nd Marquess of Bute, between 1872 and 1879. It was placed in the care of the State in 1951. The Crichton-Stuart Marquesses of Bute moved to Mount Stuart, further south on the island. Although the castle is an interesting ruin, Rothesay itself has seen better days and has somewhat of a feel of decay and abandonment…and a lot of incontinent seagulls.
According to a 19th-century ballad, the castle is haunted by a Lady Isobel, her apparition seen on the ‘Bloody Stair’, behind the chapel. Her family were killed by Norsemen, and rather than submit to marriage (or worse) with a Viking she stabbed herself to death.
In 1961 Rothesay Castle was given to the state, and is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument, in the care of Historic Scotland.For more information please click the link below thank you very much for reading ????????

The town of Rothesay is the principal town on the Isle of Bute, in the council area of Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Rothesay can be reached by ferry from Wemyss Bay which offers an onward rail link to Glasgow. At the centre of the town is Rothesay Castle, a ruined castle which dates back to the 13th century, and which is unique in Scotland for its circular plan. Rothesay lies along the coast of the Firth of Clyde.
The old town centred around Rothesay Castle, which dates from the 13th century. Long-ruinous it is nevertheless picturesque, and formed a focal point for tourists from the beginning of its evolution into a seaside resort. Rothesay was the county town in the civil parish of Rothesay in county of Bute, which included the islands of Great Cumbrae, Little Cumbrae and Arran. The county buildings, now partially closed down, overlook the castle. During the Victorian era, Rothesay developed as a popular tourist destination.
The heir to the British throne is known in Scotland as the Duke of Rothesay. This practice was begun by Robert III, who regularly resided at Rothesay Castle, and first granted the title to his son David in 1398. The title was given to the heir of the Scottish throne until the Union of the Crowns in 1603. Unlike the equivalent English title of Duke of Cornwall, there is no land attached in the form of a Duchy. The main landowner on the island is the Marquess of Bute, whose principal seat, Mount Stuart, is located a few miles to the south.
Rothesay is no longer the seaside town it used to be, with more tourists going to warmer countries such as Spain. However, since the recession tourist numbers have increased. Rothesay was granted a multimillion-pound harbour development project just in time for an arrival of the next generation lower firth ferries Argyle and Bute.

Isle of Bute, Rothesay, Ardencraig Gardens.mp4
Bute's hidden gem and just up the road from The Glenburn and Bay View! We visited in late September in the rain so spent more time in the greenhouses than we planned. The birds were somewhat subdued too.
Rothesay...Ilse of Bute
Rothesay is a smart Victorian seaside resort and the main town on the east side of Isle of Bute.
This highly accessibly town is very traditional and good looking with signs of its Victorian heritage including a splendid Victorian frontage cradling the romantic Rothesay Bay. Dominating the shoreline amongst the glorious esplanade gardens is the refurbished Isle of Bute Discovery Centre, a unique 1920s circular structure of cast iron and glass, now incorporating a cinema, theatre and many interactive displays as well as showcasing the best of Bute.
Visitors can also explore the impressive Rothesay Castle, its dungeons, thick outer walls and grand hall which are all now fully restored. Just behind it sits the fascinating Bute Museum.
To the north of Rothesay, through the small community of Port Bannatyne, lies Ettrick Bay, Bute’s most accessible beach, which is a relative safe haven for able swimmers.
