Ecobird ^club has replied to tiabunna ^club

Thank you very much George. It is actually bigger than it looks here. I took this picture from the roadside and from this angle it looks quite small. We didn't climb up to it on this visit - it is quite a steep incline. The last time we visited this area we did go up there but came down faster thatn we went up. It was a really hot summer day and I was being eaten alive by midges!!

HBM and best wishes

What an interesting place with history (and how beautiful weather that day). HBM Carol.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Christa1004 ^club

Thank you very much Christa, and also for the kind group invitations. The angle does not really do it justice - it is a lot bigger thatn it looks here, and it is at the stop of quite a sttep incline.
We did not risk it again as the last time, again on a sunny day, I was bitten a lot by midges!!

Christa1004 ^club has replied to Ecobird ^club

Indeed, midges can be annoying, but if you use repellent essential oils, like eucalyptus, citronella or lemongrass, it keeps them away.

Historty tells us our good points as well and the "not the good" points. I think the latter are more!!!

WONDERFUL HISTORY

Ecobird ^club has replied to Pam J ^club

Thank you very much Pam.
We didn't go back up there this time - I took it from the road way below. It is quite s steep incline leading up to it. The last time we were here we walked up to it but it was a warm day, as this was, and I was surrounded by midges so we beat a hasty retreat!!!!

And a well placed bench to admire it, HBM Carol

Ecobird ^club has replied to Xata ^club

Thank you Isabel. We went up there on our last visit but although it was a steepish climb the seat was no good to me, - there were so many midges nipping at me I couldn't wait to go back down to the car!!! I often react badly to them and come back looking like a spot on a road map!!

HBM and have a good week

Ecobird ^club has replied to Xata ^club

Unfortunately they like me - a lot!!! I can stand beside Roger and they never touch him whilst I am covered in bites. I might as well carry a sign saying 'blood bank' !!!

Wow, what a wonderful and mysterious castle. Hey, this reminds me of Enid Blyton's "The Castle of Adventure" one of my favorite of that series :-)
And yes, I spotted the bench right away!
HBM and have a fabulous week, Carol!

Ecobird ^club has replied to Edna Edenkoben ^club

Thank you very much Edna. The children may have been able to find the secrets hidden in the castle but when we walked up to the castle on a previous visit all I found was midges, - or they found me. We didn't stay long enough to explore!!!

HBM and have a great week ahead.

The bench is tiny yes!! Captured from the road some distance below. The castle is bigger and more impressive than it looks here too because of the angle and distnace but it was hard to stop along here unfortunately.

Bonne semaine Carol.

14 months ago.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Jocelyne Villoing ^club

Thank you very much Jocelyne. ;-))) It would need a lot of restoration I think. When we last visited there were people up in the tower admiring the views, but I think that the rest of the building, much of which can't be seen from here is missing the roof. Sleeping under the stars might sound romantic, - but not in Scotland, and at my age I am all for comfort!!!! I would like to go back for another look though.

Have a lovely new week

Ecobird ^club has replied to Adele ^club

Thank you very much Adele. It is actually bigger and more impressive thatn it looks from this angle The road to the castle is very steep and the bench must be very welcome by the time you get to the top!

Thank you very much Rosa. Yes it does look tiny all the way up there!! I think I will borrow yours though - it is a long steep climb to mine!!!

Dominique Sarrazin ^club

C'est toujours regrettable de voir de belles architectures du passé se dégrader avec le temps et finir à l'état de ruine, la conservation du patrimoine est un véritable problème de politique culturelle et de moyens financiers évidemment, nous connaissons cela aussi bien sur, il reste les photographies et peintures pour immortaliser nos trésors ... Bonne continuation Carol

14 months ago.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Dominique Sarrazin ^club

Thank you very much Dominique. I do agree with you and it makes me sad when buildings that hold such historic interest are left to go to ruin. I realise that restoration and repairs are costly but feel we are too quick to throw away our past. However this castle is in the hands of Historic Scotland now sp can only hope that it will not be allowed to deteriorate much more.

Have a lovely evening
