@DavyTolmie Sorry don't know. But it has the basic outline of Roxburgh and site Plan but far grander than I would have imagined with its extra towers. Its like a Roxburgh 2.1 upgrade.
Loch Doon Castle Canmore image & watercolour reconstruction. Sir Christopher Seton was captured here in 1306. After defeat of King Robert The Bruce's army at the battle of Methven. Seton was taken to Dumfries to be hung, draw & quartered. #LochDoonCastle

In 1306 King Robert The Bruce's Sister Mary was hung in a caged from English garrisoned Roxburgh Castle on the orders of King Edward I. Likely facing the Town so she could be mocked. She was eventually moved to a prison as there may have been attempts to rescue her by local Scots
As a boy I was amazed at the work of Alan Sorrell. His reconstruction of Dirleton was the first image of its kind I ever saw. So I copied his techinque of boxing views a section at a time. I used (8 pence) Postcard images in 1981 then scaled up to A3 size (Tantallon example)
@ceritheviking @cadwwales I know but It's only showing two faces at that funny angle which makes it look square.
