Taken in the gardens of Blair Castle, Scotland.
The oldest part of the castle is the six-storey Cummings or Comyn's Tower, which may retain some 13th-century fabric, though it was largely built in the 15th century. The extensions which now form the central part of the castle were first added in the 16th century. The apartments to the south were added in the mid-18th century to designs by architects John Douglas and James Winter. The south-east range, incorporating the clock tower, was rebuilt by Archibald Elliot after a fire in 1814. Finally, the castle arrived at its present form in the 1870s, when David Bryce remodelled the whole building in a Scots Baronial style, and added the ballroom.[1] It was further remodelled in 1885 when a new ballroom wing was added by James Campbell Walker.
During the Great War the castle was used as an auxiliary hospital and after 1922 the family found it more convenient to live in the private apartments. The castle has been open to the public since 1936. Its many rooms feature important collections of weapons, hunting trophies, souvenirs of the Murray clan, ethnographica, paintings, furniture, and needlework collected by the Murray family over many generations.
The castle also provides the garrison for the Atholl Highlanders, the private army of the Duke of Atholl, noted as the only legal private army in Europe. The Castle and the Atholl Estates were used in the 2008 reality television series Conquer the Castle.
Most Dukes of Atholl are buried in the family burial ground (photo) next to the ruins of St Bride's Kirk in the grounds of Blair Castle. St Bride's was the village church of Old Blair but fell into disuse after 1823 when the estate village was relocated to its current location.

Have a safe and fabulous day dear Flickr friends !
The wildflowers are taking back the land, blurring the boundaries marked by the fence. I found this in a metaphorical pile of pictures. The whites in the front are a little blown out, but I like this spot--it's on top of a steep hill that overlooks the valley. Happy Fence Friday!

like the moon cannot stop oceanic tide;
but a hidden star can still be smiling
at night's black spell on darkness, beguiling”

When I arrived in this area, it was evident water was flowing. However, it was a challenge to find this opening that included a Falls with no name. The photo is its own reward and worth every thorny scratch received in order to circumnavigate the area.
