A section of Dunstaffnage Castle ruins, The castle is built on an outcrop rock using what appears to be an odd mix of stone, (Large View) I think the colours of the stone in the wall to left are beautiful!. The castle which was built before 1240 has a very defensive position having water on three sides, it covers from Firth of Lorn to the Pass of Brander also Ardmucknish Bay and the entrance to Loch Etive. HWW to all!

Bornsketaig Chuch, Trotternish, Isle of Skye, The church dates from 1810 and shown as still complete in 1903, but was in ruins in the early 1960s, it was apparently abandoned around 1924, The Church is featured in this RUNRIG video www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3Zw6wtbZ3E

St Mary's old church & cemetery, Kilmuir, Dunvegan, Isle of Skye. The church was built in 1694 -- the date is inscribed on a stone over the north door -- to replace an older medieval church that served as the parish church for the Duirinish region of northern Skye. The most striking memorial inside the burial ground is a large ashlar obelisk commemorating Lord Thomas Fraser, 10th Lord Lovat, who died in 1699 For clarity, a large view would be appreciated, HWW!

The Priory ruins on The Holy Island of Lindisfarne in this image from 2018, In 635AD Saint Aidan came from Iona and chose to found his monastery on the island This Island is off of the Northeast Coast of Northumberland, accessed by a One Mile tidal causeway, which is covered by the North Sea twice daily, therefore a study of tide times is required for a safe crossing. HWW and a large view is probably best! More information en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindisfarne

These very attractive stone colours are at Kilwinning Abbey and monastery in North Ayrshire, Scotland. It is I understand a type of limestone from a local quarry, (Goldcraigs freestone quarry) Founded in the late 1100s it was the home of Tironensian Benedictine monks, who lived here for around 400 years, the majority of monks would have come from the Mother House of Kelso Abbey. Large view for detail and HWW!

The ruined Carnasserie Castle looks down across the landscape from it's high vantage point, also with commanding views over the southern approach to Loch Awe. This 16th-century tower house held an envious position! HFF and a good weekend,,,,,,,,, A large view if you are able!

Bettyhill, Sutherland, 3 Notes, River Naver, River Borgie and Torrisdale Beach, The foreground is the remains of an abandoned croft, My final image for today's "North Coast 500 group"

Under the ruins of Dunure Castle, showing the Firth of Clyde through the openings, See pip for castle remains Large for details, HWW

The mood changed and the haze visible in the image turned into a thick sea mist that obscured the majority of the landscape only around an hour after this image was taken, Still working from the archives, this time from 2017, Large view, perhaps.

Another image from the amazing ruins at Kilwinning Abbey showing its magnificent south transept which still stands nearly to its full height today. Kilwinning old Parish Church is in the background. In my opinion, it is better viewed large, HWW to all

Kilwinning Abbey, Established circa 1162 - 1168, Disestablished 1592 And the Kilwinning parish church through the arch Kilwinning Abbey was founded in the late 1100s. It has close ties to Kelso Abbey, one of Scotland’s great borders abbeys, which provided it with colonising monks. The monks of Kilwinning had a peaceful existence in their 400-year stay here. The abbey was ‘cast down’ following the Protestant Reformation of 1560, though its magnificent south transept still stands nearly to its full height today. Large for detail Please, HWW and a good Wednesday to all

Built by the Clan Kennedy of Carrick during the 15th and 16th century, Dunure Castle stands on a rocky promontory on the Carrick Coast around 5 miles down the coast from the town of Ayr, which is just visible on the distant coast if a large view is used. HBM and a great week

The harvest is in but the festival will have to be elsewhere, this is Buittle Parish church lit by late evening sun. The long history of this ‘Church in the Fields’, going back via the adjacent ruined building to the royal chapel of C13th King John Balliol, lends atmosphere to this lovely rural church. Which was originally Roman Catholic and later became Church of Scotland. The church closed in 2010 and is now up for sale, (Pip) The roofless shell of the most intact medieval parish church in the region I prefer the image large.

Trumpan Church, Isle of Skye, which is probably from 1330s and it lasted until 1578 when the doors were barred and the thatched roof set on fire with a congregation of MacLeods at worship inside, this atrocity by the Macdonald clan was retribution for an attack on clan members on the isle of Eigg The history and reason for this and the associated clans in these bloody massacres can be read here sobt.co.uk/trumpan-church Better large in my opinion.

Built for the Kennady Clan in the 1200s Dunure Castle ruins are still a feature on this prommetary along the Carrick Coast in South Ayrshire. Shot in 16.9 so a large view recommended

The yacht "Sensibility" passes the ruins of Castle Moil as it heads out of Kyleakin harbour into the storm through Kyle Akin towards the Skye Bridge and open water. View large for full effect please

Over 600 pairs of this small gull annually use the ruins of Dunbar Castle as a nesting colony from February to August and the noise is unbelievable, The tower holds a web cam that broadcasts live nest images on the internet.
