Ruins in 16.9

Back to the Ayrshire coast and Dunure Castle which is a dramatic ruined medieval fortress perched on a rocky promontory overlooking the Firth of Clyde on Scotland's west coast, in the village of Dunure, South Ayrshire.

Notable events include: A 1429 diplomatic meeting between representatives of King James I and the Lord of the Isles.
A three-day visit by Mary, Queen of Scots in 1563.
The infamous 1570 "Roasting of the Commendator," where Gilbert Kennedy, 4th Earl of Cassilis, tortured Allan Stewart (Commendator of Crossraguel Abbey) over a fire in the castle's Black Vault to force him to sign over abbey lands. (grok)

HBM and a good week,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Large view may be rewarding!

A magnificent view of these ruins Roger, captured in wonderful sunshine. I like the pastel colours in the sky and the vibrant green tones of the grass and trees. You've captured the stonework in super detail too.

A cracking shot sir..!!
