Dunottar Castle

A rather dramatic view of this splendid castle upon almost an Island just south of Aberdeen, Scotland. It was possible to visit inside too but I had to resist that temptation.

Dunnottar Castle is a ruined medieval fortress located upon a rocky headland on the northeastern coast of Scotland, about 2 miles south of Stonehaven. The surviving buildings are largely of the 15th and 16th centuries, but the site is believed to have been fortified in the Early Middle Ages.

Herb Riddle replied to LotharW:

HaHa Lothar, I know that you like my monochromes and can recognise photos done with feeling. Yes, it was a great spot to stand in and for my friends here, this will not be my first photo of this castle. -Very happy that you took the trouble to see it full screen, as you say, well worth experiencing.

Best Wishes, Herbert

Wow! Such a magical image! The castle is just stunning and must have been pretty impregnable sitting up on that massive lump of rock.

The light and sky are magnificent.............and the whole image has a really mystical feel to it.

Beautifully taken and processed to monotone Herb..!!
