Skipness Castle
Another castle with some history, near the village of Skipness, standing about 20 miles north of our base here on Kintyre,
“The main structure of the castle was built in the early 13th century by the Clan MacSween, with later fortifications and other additions made to the castle through the 13th, 14th and 16th centuries. The castle was garrisoned with royal troops in 1494, during King James IV of Scotland's suppression of the Isles. Archibald Campbell, 2nd Earl of Argyll, granted Skipness to his younger son, Archibald Campbell, in 1511. During the Wars of the Three Kingdoms in 1646, the castle was besieged by forces under the command of Alasdair Mac Colla. During the siege, Alasdair's brother, Gilleasbuig Mac Colla, was killed in August 1646. The castle was abandoned in the 17th century
The Green Lady of Skipness Castle is said to haunt the location.” WiKi

I really like the main image..........the light is lovely and you have some good definition in the sky. The detail in the stonework is superb and you've made great use of the fence and the tree stump as foreground interest.
An interesting history too.
