This monument consists of the remains of a medieval tower and an area around it.
The very fragmentary condition of the castle - only the N and S walls have masonry standing to any great height - makes interpretation of the building difficult. It is a simple rectangular tower which appears to have had its entrance on the first floor with access to the ground-floor cellar being from above. The tower rose to a second floor with the third floor being a garret at wall head level.
Ce monument se compose des restes d'une tour médiévale et d'une zone autour de celle-ci.
L'état très fragmentaire du château - seuls les murs N et S sont maçonnés sur une grande hauteur - rend difficile l'interprétation de l'édifice. Il s'agit d'une simple tour rectangulaire qui semble avoir eu son entrée au premier étage, l'accès à la cave du rez-de-chaussée se faisant par le haut. La tour s'élevait à un deuxième étage, le troisième étage étant une mansarde au niveau de la tête du mur.
During my stay on Skye Isle, I had the pleasure of enjoying a little, beautiful b&b where i found great hospitality. This was an usual everyday view from the garden on the back of my room: silence, sheeps and the colors of this stunning island.
Isle of Skye
I decided to dip into the archives for a few more photos of the beautiful Isle of Skye. This one was taken from the fort called Dun Ardtrek on the Minginish Peninsula, looking towards the Duirinish Peninsula on the west coast, just as the sun was setting. The EXIF data shows the time of the original being taken at 8:53pm, but it was actually 9:53pm, I’d forgotten to alter the time on the camera when the clocks went forward !
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Skye was living up to its reputation as the Misty Isle and that helped to emphasise the shapes and forms of the Quirang
I count my blessings whenever the northern lights come out to play whilst I'm so far north. This was taken from Galtrigill looking out over Loch Dunvegan, Isle of Skye.
There is a special place on the Isle Of Skye called the Fairy Glen and the natural rock formations in the glen are wonderful. Seen here on the right is a rock tower known as Castle Ewen. The place is magical enough anyway and a rainbow against a dark sky can only add to that magic.
Looking twards the Quiraing from the summit of Bioda Buidhe. Skye really does have an incredible landscape
Scotland, Isle of Skye, 2013
In the volcanic areas of the south of the Isle of skye I was heading for a nice place to camp beacause serious clouds came up, I took a look back to the mountains we came from and I saw the sun breaking through the clouds one last time in this wonderful scene. That is why I get out there...

View from the 'old man of Storr' looking south. I replaced the original sky again, this one is a big improvement.
The Isle of Skye is one of my favourite places in the world but prices for accommodation there have more than doubled even for the old, shabby hotels, without any increase in quality or value, sheer profiteering.
I cant afford to go there anymore so I am dredging through all my old shots.
The chances of good weather are very slim, most of my visits had really wet and windy weather which makes the high booking costs even harder to bear. Also, when the weather is fine you will be eaten alive by midges so invest in one of those wide-brimmed hats with the protective net hanging down.
Whilst not having the opportunity to go out recently, I have been looking back through some images taken on a past trip to the Isle of Skye, when travel was so much easier. This one of 2 images that I liked. A heavy overcast sky is quite typical in February, but it did not detract from the beauty that can be found on this wonderful island.

The Sound of Raasay & the Skye Skyline, Isle of Skye, Scotland
I returned to the Isle of Skye mid-November on my own for three days before running my five day workshop there, my first since February 2019 and I had forgotten just how spectacular a place it is.
This truly stunning scene was shot at mid-morning from Rigg Viewpoint on the east coast, just ten miles north of Portree. I was driving by en-route to Portree when I spotted this sublime light and I ju8st had to stop and spend half an hour there capturing this magnificent view.
I decided to shoot the image in the square aspect ratio in-camera as that is exactly how I wanted to capture the image. The diagonal lines are dominating but they work perfectly to my eyes. I hope you all enjoy the photo too.

The beautiful hills and coastline of the Isle of Skye get all of the attention. But, we found the meadows to be striking. I took this photo as we crossed from Portree to Dunvegan.

Another of the delightful waterfalls on this stretch of the Allt Coir a Mhadaidh beneath the towering crags of the Black Cuillin. The pyramidal crag of Sgurr an Fheadain stands at the head of the valley and provides a dramatic backcloth to this glen.
I had specifically donned my long wellington boots to get in the water and get this shot using a circular polariser to get rid of some of the reflections in this pure Skye river water.
