    Dumfries and Galloway Pictures #13

    As promised, here is a selection of pictures of my travels when I stayed at Ferintosh the week before last. The full set will be uploaded to my photo blog site at www.fotothing.com/cleftref .

    These are all of Caerlaverock Castle but hopefully a few fresh views of it.

    View from the platform, having climbed the stairs.



    Dramatic upward angle!



    Peek a Boo!



    Another dramatic upward angle.



    What it must have been like when it was occupied and what life was like behind those windows!



    Coming out of the Castle, I decided to walk around the outside. A solitary figure crosses the bridge across the moat.



    View of Castle and moat going around clockwise.



    More to come!

    It's been great seeing all your photos. Hope there are more on the way. You don't see many castles with moats.
