Urquhart Castle, Loch Ness, Highlands, Scotland
Corn-drying kiln, 16th century, in the gatehouse basement, at Urquhart Castle, built 13th - 16th centuries, on the shores of Loch Ness in the Great Glen, Highlands, Scotland. The room was used for drying out the corn after harvesting, before it could be ground into flour to make bread. The castle was captured by Edward I of England in 1296 during the Wars of Scottish Independence and was destroyed by government troops in the Jacobite Risings. It is run by Historic Environment Scotland as a visitor attraction. Picture by Manuel Cohen 1500s
