Abstract

The National Trust for Scotland has discovered evidence of a drawbridge at Brodick Castle in Scotland. Blocked vertical slots above the castle's battery were identified during conservation work, indicating the location of chains used in the operation of a drawbridge. Further confirmation was found in the castle's documented accounts, which recorded the purchase and transportation of timbers in 1608. This discovery sheds light on the castle's defensive structure and provides valuable insight into its history. [Extracted from the article]
