It was burned down in 1113, rebuilt partly in wood and partly in stone some years later, and a stone gateway constructed by King John was added in 1216. All that remained in recent centuries was the motte, which was leveled in 1830. ------------------ 'Demeure par la verite' Visit; Gordon's Scottish Castles Resource Page AJR Senior Member posted 06-01-2001 01:32 AM          The castle stood south of the cathedral, and there was once a priory between the castle and cathedral. The dungeons were very extensive and used as a prison. Henry III was kept in one of them for some time, by Simon de Montfort, after the Battle of Lewes. castleuk unregistered posted 06-01-2001 01:59 AM            Hi luce Cathcart King gives the site at SO 850-544, a large motte destroyed in 1830, if you look around that area something could be left?
