What an absolutely fabulous location Duart Castle Isle of Mull was for the wee wedding of the lovely Linda & Phil. Huge smiles on the faces of this pair as they tied the knot after 10 years together and there was a huge smile on my face as I worked on their photos. Thank you so much for choosing me as your wedding photographer ❤🧡💛 Canons, spiral stairs, champagne, candelabras and canapes, and of course I got to work with Andrew from Argyll and Bute Registrars again. (He loves me really 😂) #abplace2wed #weeweddinginacastle #islandwedding #castlesofscotland #scotlandweddingphotographer #driedflowers @dried_flowers_uk

Stop ⛔️. Rethink 🤔. Take a risk 🔥. Restart 🔄. Continue ➡️. And you will find something amazing 😍. No matter if this is about life, career or travel. Any detour can take you to a lot better place than you expect 😊. Same has happened with this over 2️⃣ hours detour from Inverness 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to Dunrobin castle 🏰 and back 🔙. And this appeared to end up at the top 🔝 of the most amazing castles I've seen. Next to Neuschwanstein castle in Germany 🇩🇪. And that says a lot❗️. And the landscape with all the haystacks next to it adds even more. You end up in a simply magical 🤩 place with sea 🌊 on one side and this beauty on the other. That's the reason this wonderful castle ended up getting a separate post from all the others few days ago 😊. Conclusion from all of this? Detours are really worth it 😊 . . . . . #stop #rethink #restart #continue #detour #life #phylosophy #travel #travelphotography #inverness #scotlandhighlands #scotland #dunrobin #dunrobincastle #castle🏰 #castle #castlesofscotland #castlesofinstagram #special #coast #sea #nature #landscape #haystack #summer #coast #sky #clouds #visitscotland #fairytail

Falkland Palace, Fife. Inspired by the grand châteaux of France, in the 16th century James IV and his son, James V, transformed this favoured retreat of the royal Stuarts – the palace became one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture in Scotland. One of Falkland’s most famous royal residents – Mary, Queen of Scots – was enchanted with the palace, and took advantage of Falkland’s vast estate to pursue falconry and hunting, while also enjoying a game of tennis in what is now the oldest surviving real (or royal) tennis court in the world. Although it fell into disrepair after 1660, Falkland Palace was saved from ruin in the 19th century by the 3rd Marquess of Bute. The National Trust for Scotland is taking care of the palace today. Did you know? Johnny Cash played a televised concert at Falkland in 1981. Cash learned upon researching his ancestry, that he was of Scottish royal descent. After the opportunity of meeting with former Falkland, Fife laird, Major Michael Crichton-Stuart, he traced the Cash family tree to 11th-century Fife, Scotland. #fortheloveofscotland #falklandpalace #nationaltrustforscotland #fiftyshades_of_history #loves_scotland #monumental_world #visitscotland #scotland #scotlandlover #scotland_greatshots #scotlandexplore #castles_oftheworld #loves_united_castle #ig_scotland #igscotland #insta_scotland #instascotland #lovescotland #thisisscotland #wonderlustscotland #hiddenscotland #castlesofscotland #amazingshots_castle #bestcastles #yourcastles #yourscotland

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Dornie | Eilean Donan Castle (June 2022). In the summer of 2022, Sam and I had the incredible opportunity to explore Scotland. Every corner we turned seemed to hide another enchanting fortress waiting to be discovered, each with its own story to tell. Now, as we explore Norway, I’m reminded of the deep Viking heritage that Norway and Scotland share. Eilean Donan Castle, nestled in Scotland’s breathtaking landscape at the intersection of three lochs, is a monument to this connection. Its history is intertwined with Viking raids and Scottish clans, revealing the enduring legacy of these ancient seafarers and their influence on the history and landscapes of both nations. @airbnb Trinity Cottage - Moriston River Frontage hosted by Paula and Tom (Glenmoriston, Scotland) @googlemaps Plus Code: 9C9P7FFM+MF Distance Traveled 🚗: 40 miles (64km) - Tried & Enjoyed 😋: @mielesgelato (Fort Augustus)

Kilchurn Castle by @orsayoban is located on Loch Awe and set against the backdrop of the mountains of Tyndrum. Kilchurn Castle was built around 1450 by Sir Colin Campbell, first Lord of Glenorchy. The land on which the castle stands had been granted to Colin in 1432 to ensure his loyalty following the sudden death of his elder brother, Gillespic. Colin’s descendants, the Campbells of Glenorchy (later earls of Breadalbane), were the most powerful of the numerous cadets of Clan Campbell. Indeed, there were times when this branch almost rivalled the clan chiefs, the earls of Argyll, for supremacy. Similar to many other castles, Kilchurn was subject to the changing political climate of early modern British politics. It was fortified into modern barracks capable of housing 200 troops by Sir John Campbell during the English Restoration. During the Jacobite rebellions of the early 18th century the castle acted as a government garrison. The Glenorchy-Campbell family continued to own the castle until around 1760. It was abandoned after being permanently damaged by a devastating lightning strike. It then remained largely undisturbed, as it fell apart due to decades of neglect. Today, Kilchurn is in the care of Historic Environment Scotland. Although it stands open to the elements, several wooden staircases and walkways built into its fabric allow visitors to climb the original five-story tower and other parapets. #castlesofscotland #scotland #history #beautiful #nature #reflection #peaceful #inspirational #lordoftherings #castle #scottish #travel #explorepage #travelblogger #beautifuldestinations #medieval #love

Hermitage Castle, Scottish Borders near Newcastleton. The mighty stone castle is built on an impressive platform of earth, which may have been part of an earlier castle complex. The earliest records for Hermitage are for the de Soules residence in the 1240s, but this may have been situated to the west, near the chapel ruins. English lord Sir Hugh de Dacre began the present castle around 1360. It was transformed beyond recognition by his successor, William, 1st Earl of Douglas, one of Scotland’s most powerful noblemen. Hermitage was adapted in the 1500s to respond to the threat posed by gunpowder artillery. Gun holes were punched in its thick walls and a massive gun defence was built outside to protect the castle’s western approach. #hermitagecastle #scottishborders #historicscotland #fiftyshades_of_history #monumental_world #visitscotland #scotland #scotlandlover #scotland_greatshots #scotlandexplore #castles_oftheworld #loves_united_castle #igscotland #instascotland #lovescotland #thisisscotland #yourscotland #wonderlustscotland #hiddenscotland #unlimitedscotland #castlesofscotland #castlemypassion #amazingshots_castle #bestcastles #simplyscotland #yourcastles

Appin, Scotland Sunset over Castle Stalker. The original castle was a small fort built around 1320 by Clan MacDougall, who were then Lords of Lorn. Around 1388 the Stewarts took over the Lordship of Lorn, and it is believed that they built the castle in its present form around the 1440s🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #castles #castlesofscotland #castles_oftheworld #castlestalker #scotland #visitscotland #alluring_scotland #scotlandphotography #scotland_greatshots #scotlandshots #discoverscotland #thisisscotland #historicscotland #scotlandisbeautiful #scots_magazine #icu_scotland #hiddenscotland #scotland_lover #scotshots #scotland.shots #dronehourig #ig_scotland #scotland_insta #aerilphotography #johncarrollphotography

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏰 Castle Facts 🏰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 📍Castle Stalker, Appin PA38 4BL Here are three interesting facts about Castle Stalker: 1️⃣ Name Origins: The name “Stalker” is believed to come from the Gaelic word “stalcaire,” which means “hunter” or “falconer.” It’s thought to have been used as a hunting lodge for the MacDougalls of Lorn, a Scottish clan. 2️⃣ Iconic Appearance: Castle Stalker is often described as one of the most picturesque and photogenic castles in Scotland. It’s situated on a small island in Loch Laich, surrounded by stunning scenery, making it a popular subject for photographers and artists. 3️⃣ Film Appearance: The castle gained widespread recognition when it was featured in the film “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” It was used as the exterior for the “Castle of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh” where the Grail is supposedly located in the movie. This has added to its fame and allure as a tourist destination. www.argyllsafaris.com #argyll #argyllandbute #scotland #visitscotland #wildaboutargyll #oban #thisisscotland #lovescotland #insta #scottishhighlands #hiddenscotland #myargyll #explorescotland #scottishscenery #instascotland #scotlandexplore #argyllssecretcoast #glencoe #tour #tourguide #tourguidesscotland #book #enquire #argyllsafaris #explorescotland #westcoastscotland #castle #castlesofscotland #castlestalker #castlestalkerview

As we're enjoying a bright if cold Spring, I wanted to show some sunshine pictures of Scotland 🌞. Here from later last Summer images from beautiful @traquairhouse which is now open for it's visitor season. I believe it's one of the two oldest inhabited Castles in Scotland and the family and team have done tremendous work in creating a place for crafts and heritage to survive alongside a history closely bound to the Stuart family story. As part of the wider Stuart family they have had more touch points than many with the family story including the first century of the family exile in Europe. I am very grateful to curator Margaret Fox for our conversation. Above; second picture shows a wonderful avenue to canter down leading from the castle to the famous Bear Gates 🐻 , to be opened when a Stuart returns to the British throne- locked at present. I'll include that with another future post showing more of the castle 🏰 and gardens 🦚🌷🌸🌳 The local countryside is also incredibly beautiful and captivating ❤️ and Innerleithen close by is well worth exploring to appreciate life in a small borders town. #traquair #traquairhouse #Scotland #scottishborders #castle #castlesofinstagram #castlesofscotland #history #age #stuarts #stuartsontour #peebles #innerleithen

Drumlanrig Castle, in the south of Scotland was one of Bonnie Prince Charlie's hideouts, in 1745. Also, Mary Queen of Scots stayed in the former place in 1563. Around 1700, Drumlanrig was build for William Douglas, the 1st Duke of Queensberry. It's haunted by Lady Anne Douglas, who was beheaded and walks around, holding her head in her arms. Also, there is the ghost of an unknown lady in a long dress and some other entity, resembling a yellow monkey. #drumlanrigcastle #drumlanrig #ghost #ghosts #ghoststories #haunted #haunting #ghosthunting #castle #castlesofscotland #paranormal #hdr #hdrphotography #scotland #greatbritain #mansion

Drum Castle near Drumoak, Aberdeenshire. The old tower was built in the 13th century and is one of the oldest tower houses in Scotland. Robert the Bruce gave Drum Castle to Clan Irvine in 1323. In 1619 a large wing was added to the tower. The castle was the seat of the chief of Clan Irvine for over 650 years. Clan Irvine gave the castle to the National Trust for Scotland in 1975. You could hire the castle and the nearby chapel for weddings now. #fortheloveofscotland #nationaltrustforscotland #drumcastle #aberdeenshire #castles_oftheworld #fiftyshades_of_history #explorescotland #loves_scotland #scotland #scotlandlover #scotland_greatshots #monumental_world #visitscotland #igscotland #ig_Scotland #instascotland #loves_united_castle #traveling_scotland #scotlandexplore #thisisscotland #wonderlustscotland #hiddenscotland #unlimitedscotland #castlesofscotland #castlemypassion #amazingshots_castle #yourcastles #bestcastles #simplyscotland

Our new fragrance, Auchans Pear Orchard. With the aroma of pear incorporated with tonka bean whipped cream, vanilla & honey. At Stanecastle Candles, we like to take inspiration from our local history. Old Auchans castle in South Ayrshire once had a walled garden & fruit orchard. This orchard was famous for its Auchans Pear (with Red Auchan and Winter Auchan as varieties ) It’s thought to have been the first of its kind planted in Scotland from a variety originally brought from France, reputedly at the time of Mary Queen of Scots (1542-1587) Can you believe it some of the old pear trees are still standing today. #castle #castlesofscotland #oldauchanshouse #dundonald #pear #frenchpear #handmadeinayrshire #ayrshirebusiness #ayrshirehistory #newfragrance #springcandles #honey #tonkabean #plantbasedcandles #parabenfree #phthalatefree #crultyfree

Stirling Castle. Stirling Castle was first mentioned around 1110, and many royal dramas unfolded here. Stirling was the preferred residence of most of Scotland’s later medieval monarchs, and most added something to its impressive architecture. Scotland embraced the classical ideas coming from Renaissance Europe during the reign of James IV (1488–1513). He spent much time and money making the castle fit for a European monarch – partly to impress his queen, Margaret Tudor, daughter of Henry VII of England. James V continued this legacy, as he was just as keen to impress his second French bride, Queen Mary of Guise. Their daughter, Mary Queen of Scots, lived in the Royal Palace as a child and was crowned here in 1543. Later, in 1566, Mary’s own son, the future James VI, was baptised here. The fireworks display that ended the celebrations was the first recorded use of fireworks in Scotland. #stirlingcastle #historicscotland #castles_oftheworld #fiftyshades_of_history #explorescotland #scotland #scotlandlover #scotland_greatshots #monumental_world #visitscotland #igscotland #ig_Scotland #insta_scotland #instascotland #loves_united_castle #traveling_scotland #thisisscotland #unlimitedscotland #wonderlustscotland #yourscotland #hiddenscotland #castlesofscotland #amazingshots_castle #scotlandtravel #bestcastles #yourcastles #simplyscotland
