Wonderful shot, Barry! I would suggest straightening the line of the lawn and trees at the bottom--it seems tilted and that distracts me a bit from your beautiful shot. #48167

I would like to than in order Rick, Cathy and Carol for your comments.The photo is straight Carol, there is an optical illusion going on. See if you have a wee whisky and look at it later tonight, it straightens up!

Oh--so that's how it works! lol I wasn't sure about the line--I knew the ground could easily be sloped, but I thought I would check. Anyway--it is a wonderful castle. I want to see one of those sometime--is it open to the public? #48286

Carol, it is actually in the grounds of Buchanan castle estate,Drymen by Glasgow. I used to live there, it now has houses dotted around the estate and there is also a golf course within the grounds.You can go all around the castle, but should not enter due to the castles condition.I had to go inside to monitor barn owls on occasion. The area is beautiful though and if you get the chance stay in Drymen village............ beautiful place.....I miss it...Barry #48293

Thanks for the information, Barry. It sounds like a wonderful place. I can see why you would miss it. Another place to add to my places to visit list. I'm afraid I might not make it to them all--I will have to live a long time or travel really fast! #48559
