Tonight I’m imagining what this place might have looked and felt like in the early 1300s. Possibly less ferns growing in the walls! I think that’s Asplenium trichomanes...? Can you spot them? The place has such a classic medieval feel, with a round tower on each corner. The moat was cut out of River Lochy in a square around the castle, but has long since filled in, as you can see. Being largely unchanged since construction in 1297 (except by cruel time and the elements), this was an obvious place to visit on my trip to Scotland for research and inspiration for my historical fantasy book. I’m reliving this epic, three-castle day of exploration fondly!
