Cobbie Row's (or Cubbie Roo's) Castle is the oldest medieval castle known to exist in Scotland. The castle ruins are located on the island of Wyre in Orkney. Built in the mid-12 century by Norse landowner, Kolbeinn hrúga, the stone fortification originally consisted of a small, central tower set in an oval enclosure, surrounded by two ditches, a stone wall and an earthen rampart. Historic Environment Scotland established the site as a scheduled monument in 1929.

  • Cubbie Roo’s Castle ist eine Burgruine auf Wyre, einer der schottischen Orkney-Inseln. Die Burg wurde um 1150 errichtet und ist somit eine der ältesten Burgen Schottlands. Sie wurde bereits in der Orkneyinga saga erwähnt. Ihr Name ist von dem Kolbein Hrugas abgeleitet, der dort gelebt haben soll. In der ist erwähnt, dass der letzte norwegische Earl of Orkney, John, in Thurso umgebracht wurde. Seine Mörder flohen nach Wyre und suchten in der Burg Zuflucht. Cubbie Roo’s Castle war so uneinnehmbar, dass die Belagerer gezwungen waren, mit den Mördern einen Vertrag auszuhandeln, um sie da herauszubekommen. (de)
