More photos of Scotland

These are all from late October/early November - I've just finally gotten around to getting them all uploaded to Flickr (which I much prefer over Photobucket, to be honest...)

The pictures are clickable, will take you to various Flickr photosets or static image pages.

Urquhart Castle

Inverness

A truly odd display in a kiltmaker's window in Inverness.

Thanks for the pics, Caradoc.

Nice to see that the weather can be nice in the Fall, as my wife & I will be there in early October this year.

If I remember correctly, Urquhart Castle was the site of a special I saw on PBS where they built a replica of a section of the castle walls & then tested 2 different variations of Trebuchet catapults to see how accurate & destructive these cumbersome siege engines were. They found that they could be quite accurate & absolutely devestating to any medieval fortifications. It seems to be rebroadcast from time-to-time; & on the day they test the Trebuchets, the Scottish workmen all don their kilts. Recommended viewing.

Great pics, Caradoc...the 3rd pic in your first post was a bit unexpected (to me). It looks more like a window display you'd see here in the States (and quite hideous I might add). Nonetheless, very nice work taking these shots (you have an eye for composition); they're quite picturesque and "post-cardy" (as my wife says).

The orange just doesn't come through in any of the pictures the way it looked in reality.

It's... shocking.

It was just after Halloween (we were married on Halloween - October 31st, at Edinburgh Castle, in St. Margaret's Chapel) and it seems they hadn't gotten their display changed yet.
