Rothesay Castle Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland (819 words) |
 | Rothesay Castle stands in a prominent position in the centre of the town of Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. |
| Rothesay Castle was again taken by the Norse, this time under the personal command of Håkon IV, in 1263. |
| The Norwegian attacks had shown that Rothesay Castle was not the impregnable fortress its builders had hoped, and in the last decades of the 1200s it was significantly strengthened with the addition of four circular towers projecting from the walls and a gatehouse on the northern side of the castle. |
