Ardvreck Castle (Scotland) reconstruction mock-up with barmkin over @undisscot.bsky.social image. In 1650 James Marquis of Montrose was captured & held at Ardvreck before being transported to Edinburgh to be hung, drawn & quartered for supporting King Charles. #ArdvreckCastle #HistoryRebuilt

The stones appear rooted in the landscape. Defiant and ancient, either brooding or benign, depending on the mood of the light. The loch churns and the land bends in high winds. Something aches to be heard. Or is that just my imagination?

Another view of Ardvreck Castle, on the shores of Loch Assynt in Sutherland. The air of melanchoy appears intensified now. Are ghosts still walking these ruins?

Today consisted of further examples of light and water. But this time the stones of Ardvreck Castle, its unspoken stories and melancholy drew the attention. It's a ruined 15th century castle standing on the shores of Loch Assynt in Sutherland.
