Today we are in the district of Wick, Caithness not in the town itself but a large bay on the outskirts,

This image shows defensive position of Sinclair Girnigoe Castle, with a backdrop of Sinclair Bay.

Today images are fro 2011 therefore quality may suffer a little

Hi Roger
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition. It shows the defensive position of the castle very clearly. Unfortunately this was not on our tour list, so thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes, (slightly late) HFF, a good weekend, and stay safe!!

Doug Shepherd ^club

A fine shot of this historic ruin Roger. Love the perspective and the detail of the rock strata. In an abstract way it looks (to me) like a gigantic submarine emerging from the sea!

Have a great Sunday
