Evelyn Edwards Instagram – Castles on coasts make me swoon. This is actually two castles in one and is considered to be the early ancient seat of the Sinclair Clan. This castle had some colorful owners one of which was George the 4th Earl of Caithness. It is alleged that George concocted a plan to have the Aunt of the 11th Earl of Sunderland, Isobel Sinclair, poison her nephew, his wife and his family. The all would allow Isobel’s son to inherit the Earldom of Sunderland so then the lands could be seized by the Sinclair’s. Poisoning, however, can be tricky business… Isobel accidentally poisoned her own son along with the rest of the guests at the banquet EXCEPT the true heir to the Sunderland Earldom who was able to escape. Oops. Isobel Sinclair was convicted of murder and sentenced to execution. She ended up committing suicide the night before her execution was to take place. 🏰🏴 .
