A view of the prison tower, from a passageway within the wall
Most of the walls in the castle are enormously thick, up to fifteen feet thick in some places. Many have staircases or passageways built into the stone. Another tower, Spynie Palace, had walls thick enough to build sleeping chambers in them. Most walls were solid, but it is not surprising to find others pierced with small rooms, latrines, or other hallways.
