Forse Castle

Forse Castle is a ruined castle dating to the early thirteenth century. It stands on a rocky peninsula high above the sea and is located close to the village of Forse which is off the A99 road and about 2 miles south  of Lybster, Caithness, Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Liabost, Gallaibh, Alba).  The castle was thought to have been built by Sir Reginald de Cheyne. It later passed to the Sutherlands of Forse family, part of the Clan Sutherland. It had been abandoned in the 1700's.
