An amazing hidden gem
Castle Sinclair Girnigoe的点评
点评：Castle Sinclair up here in the very north is a smaller ruin, but one of the most impressive ones we've visited. And we've visited many. The location is really just breathtaking, sitting here by the sea on the cliffs. Dunnottar castle has a similar location and is bigger, but this one here is equally impressive I'd say.
In 1379, the Earldom of Orkney passed by marriage to Henry Sinclair. It was possibly him who first built a castle here which he called Castle Girnigoe. Then it was remodelled and redeveloped in the 1400s with more work done in the 1500s and 1600s. In 1680 a party of men led by George Sinclair stripped it of roofs, floors and furniture.
Now the ruins still sit there on the rock formations, making it a very impressive sight when you approach it. It's an easy, short and flat walk from the carpark. Nowadays the castle is easy to access via a bridge built in 2008. A lot of the ruins are open to explore. You even can walk a short path down to the shore. It's a real fun place to explore.
And it's still a bit of a hidden gem. We really only met few visitors on this pretty sunny summer day. There's not even any entrance fee - I'm suprised that this isn't more popular.
A real highlight and definitely a must-do when up here in the North.

翻译：位于最北端的辛克莱城堡遗址规模较小，但却是我们参观过的最令人印象深刻的遗址之一。我们参观过很多这样的遗址。它坐落在海边的悬崖峭壁上，景色令人叹为观止。邓诺特城堡的位置与这里相似，而且规模更大，但我想说，这座城堡同样令人印象深刻。
1379年，奥克尼伯爵领地通过婚姻传给了亨利·辛克莱。他很可能是这里最早建造城堡的人，并将其命名为吉尼戈城堡。15世纪，城堡进行了改建和重建，16世纪和17世纪又进行了更多的修缮。1680年，乔治·辛克莱率领的一行人拆除了城堡的屋顶、地板和家具。
如今，遗址仍然矗立在岩层之上，走近时，景色令人叹为观止。从停车场步行过去，路途轻松，路途短暂而平坦。如今，通过一座2008年建成的桥梁，可以轻松抵达城堡。许多遗址都开放供游客参观。您甚至可以沿着一条小路走到岸边。这是一个非常有趣的探索之地。
它至今仍是一块鲜为人知的瑰宝。在这个阳光明媚的夏日，我们遇到的游客寥寥无几。这里甚至不需要门票——我很惊讶它竟然如此受欢迎。
这里绝对是北方必游之地，绝对值得一游。
