I am sure most of us have visited and photographed castles in our time. They often appear in the club competitions. The subject is open to any interpretation / processing techniques that you wish to apply.

Really struggled with this one, however my effort is a panorama of Durham showing the castle & cathedral in winter.

Barcaldine Castle

Post by Paul Jones »

Barcaldine Castle is a 17th century tower house castle located at Barcaldine near Oban, Scotland.

The castle was built by Sir Duncan Campbell, of Glenorchy, between 1601 and 1609. The castle fell into desrepair in the later 19th century, when Barcaldine House became the principal residence of the family. It was restored between 1897-1911 and now operates as a hotel. The ghost of Sir Duncan Campbell is said to have been spotted roaming Barcaldine searching for the man who murdered him.

Caerlaverock Castle, in Dumfries and Galloway, is one of very few triangular moated castles. A brilliant place to visit.
