It rained all the way up to Holy Island this morning! I sat in the carpark at the causeway having a coffee & contemplating if i should cross? if I did I'd be locked on the island for 5 hours until the tide was low enough to get back across! pleased I did, for some of the shots, but I'll keep quiet about what happened to my the big stopper about 15 minutes after this shot! :-( :-(

This is one of my favourite locations and the subject for my project 'Duffus Castle through the seasons'

Duffus Castle was a motte-and-bailey castle in use from c.1140 to 1705. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland.
At the beginning of the 12th century Moray was ruled by Angus, grandson of Lulach Macgillecomgan, who had succeeded Macbeth as King of Scots in 1057. Angus rebelled in 1130 and King David I began to populate the province with nobles. Among them was Freskin, of Flemish background, who built the great earthwork and timber motte-and-bailey castle in c. 1140.
Freskin’s direct line ended in 1270 and the castle passed into the ownership of Sir Reginald le Chen. With his death in 1345, Duffus passed to his daughter Mariot who was married to Nicholas, son of the 4th Earl of Sutherland. The Sutherlands were also descended from Freskyn and remained in their possession until 1705 when the castle was abandoned.

Built for (and displayed at) Brickworld 2009. Apologies for the photo quality; sucka's far too big for my usual photography setup.
Alrighty guys. After much deliberation, here is my castle. Without interior. I will be breaking this castle ASAP, to start on another project.
I would like to take time to thank everyone who supported me, and who gave me feedback, and criticism that made this castle so much better than it would have been without you. I will tag my main inspirations and helpers. :)
I need a name, thoughts?
The door, obviously! :3
Castle Stalker sits in the middle of Loch Laich, a small loch which comes off Loch Linnhe. It is completely surrounded by water when the tide comes in. I liked it with all the texture of the mud flats in front.
A shot of Blarney Castle in Ireland. This was one of those rare moments where we arrived early enough that the crowds had not yet arrived. Decided to take this shot across the river to add more of a dramatic impact to the overall composition.
Chepstow is a Norman castle perched high above the banks of the river Wye in southeast Wales. Construction began at Chepstow in 1067, less than a year after William the Conqueror was crowned King of England.
Dunnottar Castle, Aberdeenshire
Dunnottar Castle is a ruined medieval fortress located upon a precipitous rocky headland on the north-east coast of Scotland, about two miles (3 km) south of Stonehaven. Its surviving buildings are largely of the 15th-16th centuries, but an important fortress certainly existed on this site from Dark Age times. Dunnottar played an important role in the history of Scotland from the Middle Ages through to the Enlightenment, due to its strategic location overlooking the shipping lanes to northern Scotland and also being situated on a fairly narrow coastal terrace that controlled land movements, particularly the land access to the ancient Causey Mounth, the only medieval route from the coastal south via Portlethen Moss to Aberdeen
William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots, the Marquis of Montrose and the future King Charles II, all graced the Castle with their presence. Most famously though, it was at Dunnottar Castle that a small garrison held out against the might of Cromwell’s army for eight months and saved the Scottish Crown Jewels, the ‘Honours of Scotland’, from destruction. Crown, sceptre and sword now take pride of place in Edinburgh Castle.
Castle Ring is an Iron Age hill fort, situated high up on the southern edge of Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, England. It is the highest point on The Chase with an elevation of 242 metres.
