Carnassery Castle (17)
This is the arch that leads into the enclosed area on the south side of the castle. The key-stone contains the initials SDC for Sir Duncan Campbell and his LHL for his wife Lady Henrietta Lindsay, together with the date 1681. Added more than a century after the castle was built, by which time Scotland was generally becoming a less violent place to live, it supports my theory that this enclosure was a walled garden more than a courtyard.
