Old Scottish castle
Aberdour Castle is the main attraction of this town on the Fife Coastal Path, and although it's not the biggest or the most colorful, it is listed as one of the oldest castles in the country (late 12th/early 13th century). Partly in ruins and partly intact, the castle offers beautiful views over the coast and can be visited in its entirety, including the rear and gardens (the oldest part). Although it's called a castle, historians call it a fortified residence, probably due to its size. Its most illustrious inhabitants were the Earls of Morton, and the Douglas family. The most curious part is in the back, where we found an isolated tower shaped like a missile or rocket, which was used in ancient times to keep and salt meat in order to have food in the harsh and long winters.
