This was later granted to William Sinclair in exchange for the Earldom of Orkney. Its defences were upgraded to support artillery in the mid-sixteenth century but it saw no action until 1651 when it was attacked and badly damaged by Oliver Cromwell.

The earliest of these are thought to date to the Bronze Age, whilst the vast majority are connected with the Pictish period.
