A palace worked by Ruler William just about 900 years back is at danger of toppling into the ocean after late tempests lashed Lunan Inlet, Angus.
Neighborhood walkers and history buffs trust the long-rotting Red Château, or rubeum castrum, is going to fall foul of a developing gap underneath its establishments - a 100ft by 4ft break.
The palace was manufactured king so as to sit above Lunan Cove William the Lion, to stop intruders picking up a decent footing on the key shoreline close Montrose.
The palace is a piece of a domain that was given to neighborhood nobles in 1197 and reallocated by Robert the Bruce in 1328.
In 1579 James Dark was kicked out of the manor by his new wife Woman Elizabeth Beaton when it developed he was infatuated with her little girl.
His consequent two-year battle of assaults on the palace finished its value as a respectable home.
Jag Betty of examination site Peculiar Spots in Scotland said: 'I figure it's because of the late awful climate, the wind and the tempests in the course of the most recent couple of weeks.
'It is a phenomenal structure and it will be pitiful to see it begin to disintegrate.'
Nearby antiquarian Norman Atkinson has seen the Stream Lunan and seaside storms take their toll on the site throughout the decades.
'There were endeavors to protect and restore the château before,' he said.
Be that as it may, the President of the Montrose Society, Sandy Munro, trusts intercession would now be past the point of no return.
He said: 'As I would see it ought to have been taken into the guardianship of Memorable Scotland long prior, as ought to numerous other magnificent noteworthy manors, for instance Ballenbreich on the south bank of the Tay.
'It has a great setting on an untainted and delightful sound, and is one of the east bank of Scotland's most particular points of interest, particularly with its 'scottie pooch' profile, tremendously shot subsequent to being made by an electrical jolt a couple of years back, beside having a brilliant history retreating almost 900 years.'
'Notwithstanding, it would be extremely costly for the landowner or anybody to take that on.'
In any case, Memorable Environment Scotland, which has denoted the structure as a broadly critical landmark, said a late visit had not found any more disintegration to the precipice face than on a trek in 2013.
A representative said: 'We routinely screen the circumstance at Red Mansion, and know about the state of the landmark and dissolving precipice face.
'One of our field officers examined the site only a couple of weeks back, where they found that there had been no conspicuous change to the state of the landmark since our last visit in 2013.
'We are cheerful to work with every single intrigued partie to guarantee the practical administration of the site and its encompassing zone in the long haul.'
