Hermitage Castle

[Hamish]

So perhaps its best to practice the Hamish pose at the entrance to the turreted staircase.

But I haven't quite got it right yet.

No. not quite yet, Alex ............ but, you're getting there!


What a solid-looking castle this one is. Great photos too.

Being in a country that's a mere 230 years old, we lack a long and rich history...and mid-evil castles! Thanks for sharing.

If you want to see some antiquity in the US of A, there's always Mesa Verde, Chaco Culture National Historical Park or Canyon de Chelly. Many of those ruins were built over a thousand years ago. You can tour the great houses in several of these places. They are stunning.

Ancient stonework always amazes me, be it Scottish castles, Puebloan ruins or ancient Middle Eastern cities.

Wonderful castle tours C2T!

That is one imposing looking castle. I'd certainly think twice before trying to lay siege to that one. Thanks for the pix!

Great pics! i love Border history. Everyone should be required by law to read "The Steel Bonnets" by George MacDonald Fraser...it's just that exciting.

Fantastic, thanks for the photos!

David,

It never ceases to amaze me that you always take these tours in a coat and tie. Here it's rare these days to wear a coat and tie to the office (I've not in so many years that I've forgotten when I did. Most likely the last time was sometime in the late 80's) Guid on ye!

Keep 'em coming!

I like it. Great tour. Here's your tip kind sir (if we ever meet I owe you a pint). The kilted pictures make the castle look better. Thanks, O'Neille

Thank you for the detailed tour and history of the castle.

Well Done

Cheers
