Dunglass Castle (2)
It has been my hobby for a number of years, to visit Scottish castles, photograph them, collect together such information as I can gather and post it all here on Flickr for people's reference. I am not usually too worried about going inside, indeed I prefer not to when the building is still someone's home, and although I like to get photographs of the building's interesting external features, if it is all too difficult, I settle for whatever I can get. Looking at Dunglass Castle and the fence and thick vegetation that surrounded it, I had pretty much decided to settle for a couple of distant shots, but having gone to so much trouble to get in here, I thought it might be worth looking at the seaward side, which I knew was the oldest substantial part of the castle remaining.
The curtain wall that once surrounded the castle, is still fairly complete on this side, but as the castle was presumably once used to control traffic on the River Clyde, I decided it might be worth scrambling round the rocks for a better look at the seaward side.
