Urquhart Castle


Enjoy with me this most impressive ruin. Seen from the waves of Loch Ness itself. Fortunately a few moments of sun created a nice spotlight here.
"Once one of Scotland’s largest castles, Urquhart saw great conflict during its 500 years as a medieval fortress. Control of the castle passed back and forth between the Scots and English during the Wars of Independence. The power struggles continued, as the Lords of the Isles regularly raided both castle and glen up until the 1500s.
The last of the government troops garrisoned here during the Jacobite Risings blew up the castle when they left. Urquhart’s iconic ruins remain, offering glimpses into medieval times and the lives of its noble residents." - www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/urquhart-castle
The Pip shows a view from a little further away before we did this closer sail past.
Well worth full size.
