Redcastle, an ancient castellated structure on the coast of lnverkeilor parish, Forfarshire, at the S side of the influx of Lunan Water to Lunan Bay, 4½ miles SSW of Montrose. Said to have been built by William the Lyon, perhaps to prevent invasion by the Danes, and to have been a royal hunting-seat, it seems to have been a place of considerable strength; and is now a ruin, with thick compact walls and a strong surrounding rampart.—Ord. Sur., sh. 57, 1868.
