Keiss tower house, Caithness

Keiss Castle was a ‘Z plan’ tower house built in the late sixteenth/early seventeenth century by George, Earl of Caithness but seized when he repeatedly defied King James VI. The structure was ruinous by the eighteenth century and was replaced by an elaborate mansion house nearby. The beach and grounds were heavily fortified during WWII.

In October 2021 we were finally ready to start our motorhoming adventures. Although we had been living in a caravan pitched on the beach at Blackpool Sands, and laterly in Lottie, our motorhome, we hadn't actually gone any distance until our trip to McScotland. This was our first experience of actually travelling around in Lottie, and it was a much steeper learning curve than we imagined. Leaving Devon early in October we meandered up the West coast of the UK. I talked about this part of our trip in a previous post - “The Journey Begins”.  Arriving in McScotland on the 8th of October we started making our way toward Inverness as it's a great starting point for the NC500, whichever way around you wish to go. We decided to go anti-clockwise as we were fairly new to driving around in such a large vehicle and wanted to have a bit more time on the larger roads before tackling some of the narrower ones on the West coast.
