Dunrobin Castle









































































































Dunrobin castle has stood here in various forms since the 13th century.
It has been built on over the years but the original form still remains.
We visited recently and saw a great falconry display, with one very impressive Eagle Owl. One of the falcons decided to attack a nest of jackdaws instead of doing his routine display, which added some drama to the occasion.

Sea, sky and some stone


the silver sea as seen from our back door.














The stones at Achavanich.














The Sky on fire, looking North West from the front door.













A spectre hangs from the clouds at sunset.














Several forms of cloud at once painted across the frame.
