One of the most important occurrences in State formation came to pass in those waters. The Kyle of Loch Alsh was hidden from the Atlantic if you didn’t know the waters but a Dutch spy created a Rutter of the waters which carried the royal fleet through the hidden gap to the waters behind and attacked the far far larger fleet of the Lord of the Isles while it was at anchor.

It is also the ancestral home of Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John Alexander McCrae, who wrote the poem “In Flanders Fields” after the second battle of Ypres in the 1st World War.

I remember that when I visited the castle, in spite of its interested history, failed to charm me, however the surrounding area itself and where the castle itself is located was breathtakingly beautiful. Good to see a different visual aesthetic in this photo compared to ones on an urban theme…

Great photo, Ferdinand. The grey-scale gives atmosphere, depth and character.

I’ve never seen a photo of this castle before. You’ve set a high precedent for all the photos of it I may see later!
