The original Castle on this site was built in the 13th century by the Graham family. The Grahams were a family on the rise and the family were made the Earls of Montrose in 1505. The most famous Graham resident of Mugdock Castle was James Graham (1612-1650) known as The Great Montrose. He was a poet and soldier who fought for the cause of King Charles I during the Wars of The Three Kingdoms (more commonly referred to as The English Civil Wars) and was marked as one of the greatest soldiers of the time. So great was his military fame that King Louis XIV offered him the role as Marshal of France. His success ultimately ran out in 1650 with the loss of The Battle of Carbisdale in Rosshire. Montrose was betrayed by a fellow Scotsman and was ultimately Hung, Drawn and Quartered for his part in the war. His campaigns were immortalised by Sir Walter Scott in his 1819 novel A Legend of Montrose.

Sturdy shoes are highly recommended, as it is usually very wet and slippery. Not recommended for small children or people with walking problems!

Great gorge, brown-red water. In warmer seasons, the Devils Pulpit is also perfect for a swim. Be sure to park a few meters further north at the intersection (small parking lot). The actual path to the pulpit is south, just behind the bridge. STURDY footwear is a must

The steps collapsed, access was not possible in rainy weather that was too slippery and too steep
