Balvaird Castle

After visiting the round tower ( a rare tower built around the 1100's) in Abernethy we headed to Elcho Castle and then Balvaird.

Balvaird Castle near Newton of Balcanquhal, Perthshire was built in the late 1400s, it was built for Sir Andrew Murray, a younger son of the family of Murray of Tullibardine.

Very windy day but got some nice shots and even sneaked a 15 second exposure in

1) 15 sec, ISO 50, F16 Polarisor, GND and a 6 stop filter used

Lovely work Grant.

Abernethy round tower - you were just a few mins walk from my house - the kettle would have been on.

1 for me too - great work!

Gorgeous, and vibrant colours too

If i had to pick a fave, it would be number 1 but they are all fab

Lovely old building beautifully captured, my fave is the second, like the way the trees pull you in and up towards the castle, all have great compositions , that one appeals to me the most.

Thank you all for your comments

Thanks Phil, Earl Grey please, hot We might be up that way again soon as we arrived too late at Elcho Castle for any photography.

I forgot to add the Hermitage Castle which we visited a few weeks ago in the Scottish borders.

blimey they are amazing ........

These are up to your usual high standard Grant. I like them all and it very hard to pick one out, so instead I pick one I like the least which is Hermitage Castle shot, in fact it almost looks as though it's pasted into the picture. Perhaps something to do with the PP.
