Thurso Castle
Thurso Castle (alternatively, Castrum De Thorsa, Castle of Ormly, and Castle of Ormlie) is a ruined 19th-century castle, located in Thurso, Caithness, in the Scottish Highlands. Situated in Thurso East, off Castletown Road, east of the River Thurso, the site can be seen from across the river.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.castleuk.net/castle_lists_scotland/12/thursocastle.htm )〕 The current castle ruins date to 1872; it was demolished in 1952, although there has been a fortress here since the 12th century.
==History==
The name Thurso means "Thor's River" and was named by the Vikings.〔 There was a castle at Thurso East, which served as a residence of the earls of Orkney and Caithness, and it is probably the earthwork structure which was recorded in 1157 as the Thorsa castle.〔 A fire gutted it in the early 16th century,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thurso, Princes Street, Castlegreen Manse, Castle Of Ormlie )〕 and no vestige of it remains.〔
The Arch, also known as Thurso Castle, was built in 1665 by George Sinclair, 6th Earl of Caithness. The contract between him and the master mason, Donald Ross, records the price as 600 merks.〔 It later became the Seat of Sir John Sinclair, 1st Baronet, who erected a new structure, designed as a castle or fortress. It was restored and enlarged in 1806 and 1835.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thurso Castle )〕
The current structure, a Victorian Gothic ruin, was built in 1872 and demolished in 1952.
