rises to a height of about 8' above the level at the
back of the structure which must be almost
that of the foundation. From the exterior on
the front the elevation is about 5'. Across
the ridge immediately in front of the building there

The ruin is known to the fishermen on the Coast
as the "Broken Castle".

Cairn Tooter Laigh Sinniness. (35)
In the angle of a field about 350 yds. [yards] E. [East] of Laigh
Sinniness farm-house are the remains of a
large circular construction with a diameter
of about 80' reduced almost to ground level and
overgrown with grass. A raised margin
around it is almost all that remains of the
cairn which it is said to have been.

Fort. Laigh Sinniness. (16)
On the shore line about 1/4 m. [mile] S. [South] by W. [West] of Laigh
Sinniness a promontory rock projects sea-
-ward flanked on the E. [East] by a glen running
up towards the farm. The top of the rock
is flat and covered with grass and has
an elevation of some 50' or thereby above
high water mark. Across the landward
end of the headland from the edge of the
glen on the E. [East] to the cliff on the opposite
side there has been erected a single bank
of earth and stone some 6' to 7' in height
