2 Pro Castle Stalker, Appin, Scotland.

[Drumsagard]

Some images from Appin on the west coast of Scotland this morning. The panos are 3 separate photos merged in LR.
For info: Castle Stalker (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal an Stalcaire) is a four-storey tower house or keep picturesquely set on a tidal islet on Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe. The original castle was a small fort, built around 1320 by Clan MacDougall who were then Lords of Lorn. Around 1388 the Stewarts took over the Lordship of Lorn, and it is believed that they built the castle in its present form around the 1440s.

Very nice pictures and interesting history. Would love to be able and go back in time to experience what it was like back then. ??

Thanks. No, not this time, the tide was just starting to go out when I was there this morning.

No you would not lol. It was apparently classed as an inhabited island right up to the 2011 census.

Stunning! One of the most famous landmarks in pics of Scotland and you more than did it justice. Nice work.

That is some beautiful work. Nothing captivates like a well shot photograph. What software do you use for your Post Processing?

Lovely work. The walkway likely built 21st century has not as interesting a history but beautiful in that perspective.
Thanks for sharing mate ....from Down Under.
