Dumbarton Castle

Dumbarton Castle
This area of the castle has in its time been subject to major reconstruction work in the early 18th century, when the medieval Gatehouse was demolished and replaced by the current Governor's House. This Gatehouse extended into the present garden where its remains may still be in situ. Quoted from the Canmore website

Voigtländer 21mm f4 VM Color Skopar Lens attached, using a Fujifilm M Mount Adaptor, to Fujifilm XT 1 camera.

We have been treated to many distant shots of Dumbarton Rock Joe, but I think this is the first I have seen actually on the Rock. It looks and sounds a beautiful and interesting place to visit.
The benches give a good indication of scale. All the best, Rosa.

I think this may be your second view of this scene, Rosa. Last year, you commented on this image. I have been to the top of the Rock many times. I won't be back up there for a while, as the premises are currently closed due to the Covid 19 restrictions. Thanks for your very kind comment. Cheers, Joe

Ah yes, last summer. Thanks for the link and the reminder. I look forward to a time when you can return and take a picture without the scaffolding, although it doesn't detract from the scene in this lovely shot. Cheers, Rosa.

A fine shot Joe.
Obviously of impressive size.
Have added the place to my visit list for hopefully later this year if not then 2022.
