Dub.\u00a0 I read up about the name and discovered that a Spanish Ship called the Santa Caterina, carrying arms for the Earl of Erroll&#8217;s Catholic plot against King James VI\u00a0is said to have sunk\u00a0here in 1594.\u00a0 Cannons have been recovered from the wreck.\u00a0 In retaliation\u00a0the King ordered that the Earl&#8217;s castle which stood on the cliffs, a mile north of Collieston be blown up, The Earl went on to rebuild Slains Castle, six miles further up the coast at Cruden Bay, in 1597.<\/p>\n<p><a
