Travel in Scotland

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Before some of you ask: yes, I took this pictures; yes, they are real, not retouched, I use an old reflex Nikon Camera (1971) and a good photographic film (400 ASA).

Ask if you want to kno what place they are: I have travelled all around Scotland, and it's beautiful!

I'm looking for something roughly about the size of Dunvegan, but I'm not quite sure that Dunvegan is "right". It just doesn't jump out at me as "the one".

I can't find the picture that initially gave me the atmospheric inspiration, but when I find it, I'll post it on my LJ. But what I'm looking for?

Let's see...

* something that's heavily wooded
* not easily accessible
* Highland area
* loch location would be nice
* I'm not a big fan of the "newer architecture" of some of these castles (that makes them seem more of a mansion)

In the story, the castle will be nicknamed something else, and I'm currently researching for the Gaelic meaning of a few words.

*chuckles* And now I'll stop hijacking your post...

Something like this

I don't remember the name, but it's near Glencoe and at home I have the journal of my travel, so I can control. When I visited it, it was under restoration, as you can see...

Yes! Kilchurn Castle :D

Just curious... Did they allow you onto the premises or were you only allowed to see it from a distance? I know they've had some issues with gates being locked and cordoned off by the railway, but not sure if that's been opened back up or not.

I'm going to do a little more research to see how it works. Thank you!!!

No. I can only see by distance. It was closed for restoration. Now maybe will be open, I went in Scotland two years ago. ciao, elisa
