The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.

The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.

Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.

He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.

In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.

First of all, I like the dark overall mood of the image, coming along with the very nice blue hour tones which are reflected on the water and on the this awesome wet stones. The water with the dark reflections looks very velvet, which I enjoy very much. As well I do with the low hanging clouds and their movement captured by the long exposure. But what really made me to select this shot is that it was the only one with the shoreline in the foreground. For all subsequent exposures I opted for a cleaner composition. Finally, it is the messiness of the foreground which made this landscape very authentic for me. Thanks to the nice company of Alexander (@alexanderlinder_photo), who I met in the car park and who showed me the way over a small bridge and to this fantastic riverbed.

Field of oilseed rape at Duffus.....

Duffus Castle, near Elgin, Moray, Scotland, was a motte-and-bailey castle and was in use from c.1140 to 1705. During its occupation it underwent many alterations. The most fundamental was the destruction of the original wooden structure and its replacement with one of stone. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland. At the death of the 2nd Lord Duffus in 1705, the castle had become totally unsuitable as a dwelling and so was abandoned.

A stroll around Burghead Harbour today, always provides the opportunity to capture something different!

The clash of light and water against the enduring rock. Nature's drama, staged in high contrast.
