Edzell Castle

18 July 2004

89.
We went to Edzell today to visit the castle. Edzell is a lovely little Angus town about 30 miles north of Dundee. It is where I held my first conference (The Last Empire: 25 Years of Portuguese Decolonisation) This is what's left of the castle's main staircase. After Edzell, we drove to Brechin then Kirriemuir (birthplace of Peter Pan author, J. M. Barrie), and from there we went past Glamis Castle (birthplace of the late Queen Mother) and Alyth. We had a lovely meal in an inn just outside Newtyle. Another brilliant day with my family in the Scottish countryside. I am truly blessed.

Despite the gray haired gridlock (lol !); it sounds like you had an excellent day & yielded some fantastic shots.

This image has me wondering of how it once was before time & tide caught up. Your castle gallery is wonderful also.

I would love to be able to go out into the countryside and tour ancient castles. How romantic! You live ina beautiful country, with an amazing heritage. This photo has a dramatic perspective, and an interesting subject.

Wonderful and very dramatic angle. I looked at all of your photos of today and I am so impressed. What a lovely place and you did a wonderful job of capturing its beauty. Thanks for sharing.

Blessed, indeed. Sounds like a wonderful day and thank you for the very special photo. I will look at the others tonight.

A thousand pardons -- I did mean 'your castles' in the general sense, as we have none of our own. Let there be no confusion between England and Scotland whatsoever!

Interesting composition.

Carmen		18-Jul-2004 23:59
I like this shot -- nice angle. I went to England to see your castles, and came away loving your trees... They're so cool looking in pictures, but I found them imposing 'in person'. Of course, I went after tourist season was over, and was all alone in these windswept, formerly blood-drenched places...perhaps that had something to do with it.

Great composition!

snootydog		18-Jul-2004 23:42

Quite a striking shot and unusual angle. Sounds like you had a great day.
