Ancient and Modern
Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye taken on a slightly misty day last autumn,
Probably a fortified site from the earliest times, the castle was first built in the 13th century and developed piecemeal over the centuries. In the 19th century the whole was remodelled in a mock-medieval style. The castle is built on an elevated rock overlooking an inlet on the eastern shore of Loch Dunvegan, a sea loch. (Wiki)

For the Sight and Sound group, a castle and a helicopter is enough for me to use Don Mclean, Castles in the air, www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH-JGZT79kM

Hi Roger,

I remember visiting this castle a few years ago, but the weather was so bad the pictures were not fit for display here. Great to see such a nice picture of it now!

Best wishes, and Happy Easter!
