Dunnottar Castle






Largely due to a lack of decent current pics and also as a special treat for someone I know who loves this place, I decided to post another series of pics of Dunnottar Castle. The top two were taken by me last June. The others I nicked from the web.




I've never seen the castle in snow.....I toyed with the idea a couple of times this year, but the snow was just too bloody deep! The path leading down to the Castle is bad enough in summer.





I liked this painting with rainbow by W.H. Paton (1828-1895). Do you think it was really there or was it artistic licence?.....





.... and this is simply gorgeous.

    It looks like an isolated but magical place.

    Such a lonely yet fantastically beautiful place :) Out of your own photos I like the first one best.

    The sea in your first picture is so calm, but I suspect this location can sometimes be ravaged by the elements. Looks like a stunning place to visit.

    Dunottar's a proper castle - nae messin aboot there.

    I always wonder how they howfed all the stones up there. Musta been a bit o a back breaker.

    Decent chippy in neary Stonehaven anaw.

    This is one of my favourite places to take photos - but the thought of walking that path in snow has brought me out in a cold sweat!

    Love your Dunottar sequence. But I don't think I've ever seen a rainbow at quite that angle before. However, it's Art.
