1. Great atmospheric photo, Scott… (and as a footnote, Carbisdale – the ‘Castle of Spite’ – was owned by my family before being given to the SYHA. In a very sad state of repair and on the market for a song. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3539962/Carbisdale-Castle-40-bedrooms-built-bitter-duchess-aristocratic-family-row-dubbed-Castle-Spite-goes-sale-just-900-000.html) RH

   1. Thanks it still on market for £900,000 plus a £6 million repair bill. I staid in it back in my schooldays the statue gallery and moving foot paintings pkus a run in with a ghost is indelibly stamped in my mind – the statues were sold for more than the house is on the market for – I really wanted to see the statue gallery again it transfixed me but I’m afraid that wont be happening

      1. How great that you stayed there, Scott, and have those happy memories. I last went about a dozen years ago. It’s terrible sad that it should have fallen so low. There’s a portrait of my G G Grandfather there that I trying to reclaim (= buy, I suppose!).

2. A lovely capture of a wonderful scene. Looks like it might be appropriate for some Halloween fun!

   1. Currently for a mere £900,000 but I beleive it comes with a £6.5 million repair bill plus running costs – I stayed there as a teenager and trust me – we encountered a ghost so it would perfectly fit Halloween

3. Beautiful scene. Scott, it looks you have soft light there in Scotland all the time. The best prove are your pictures.

   1. Yes we have very soft light lots of haze and mist but this was also calm offering the strong reflections 🙂

4. Lovely Autumnal image Scott

   1. Aye it was a cracking day I do enjoy heading out this way – it would be good to spend a week just wandering and snapping.

5. It’s so beautiful. ❤️

   1. Yes Laura it is but the mist covering the castle was the mood that I couldn’t resit.

      1. Glad you didn’t. 🙂

6. Absolutely love it. You have a great eye. 🙂 What camera did you use to take this shot? Anyway, outstanding work. 🙂 Thank you for sharing with us.

   1. Angela thank you for commenting – It was a Nikon D800 with 24-85mm lens – glad you liked it – please look through my previous posts I am sure will enjoy my portfolio.

7. Now that’s a cracker and no mistake.

   1. a simple but highly effective comment – many thanks for your tweets as well 🙂

8. Lovely image, Scott. 🙂 Made me smile because as we were driving home in the Yorkshire Dales yesterday Mick remarked on the castle in among the trees. What castle? I said. That sandy coloured thing with a pointed roof and no leaves, said the husband. (it was quite a long way off!)

   1. Well the image was clearly in Mick’s head – it is always a bonus when an images connects with something else 🙂 a double whammy
