The Elcho Castle is another expample of the divide between the Scottish nobility during the Middle Ages and of the Renaissance. The construction is characteristic of Scotland (as there are many similar places) and is made up of a small castle, that belongs to a noble family with some power, as in the case of Wemyss (whose leader was the Count of Elcho, hence the name of the castle).
