Check out the evidence of the three sets of heavy wooden doors that once sat alongside the iron gate to ward off intruders. 

The Portcullis Gate dates from the rebuilding of the castle by Regent Morton in the aftermath of the Lang Siege  as the main gateway into The Castle. It stands on the site of the medieval Constable's Tower. The Top storey of the gateway was added In 1887.

He’s gone, you’re still here. You’ll no longer enjoy the gleam of his eyes, of his words, but so what? Organize your defences, preserve your wholeness, don’t let yourself break like an ornament, you’re not a knickknack, no woman is a knickknack.

Elena Ferrante, The Days of Abandonment
