    Great photos. I've always preferred the look of the Scottish castles over the English designs.

    View inside the Keep.



    Model of the Castle as it would have been in its prime.



    Another plaque.



    Climbing up to the next level which is open to the skies there are nice windows like this one and with a nice view too.



    General view of the upper level.



    Last set to follow.

    Another window on the upper level.



    Looking back down on the lower level.



    Another part of the ruined outer wall.



    Back at the jetty, a look back.



    View from the boat - it doesn't return to the other side directly but does a detour to give you a better view of the island.



    End of series.
