A walk to Castle Varrich from Tongue
The far northern Highlands are the setting for some spectacular scenery, with the estuary of the Kyle of Tongue being particularly noteworthy.
Perched on top of an exposed promontory sits Castle Varrich (or Caisteal Bharrigch in Gaelic) which overlooks the landscape from an elevated position and offers superb views from its sturdy viewing platform.
It's an easy walk from the village of Tongue on well-maintained paths that are only around 2 miles in length, so the return journey shouldn't take much more than an hour to complete.

Old Photographs Tongue Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of photographs of Tongue, Sutherland. This is a coastal village in the north west Highlands. It lies on the east shore above the base of the Kyle of Tongue and north of the mountains Ben Hope and Ben Loyal. To the north lies the area of Braetongue. Tongue is the main village in a series of crofting townships that runs through Coldbackie, Dalharn, Blandy, and the harbour of Scullomie to the deserted township of Slettel. The area was an historic crossroad for Gaels, Picts and Vikings. Castle Varrich near to the village was the ancient seat of the chief of the Clan Mackay. George Washington Campbell was born on February 9, 1769 in Tongue, was an American statesman who served as a U.S. Representative, Senator, Tennessee Supreme Court Justice, U.S. Ambassador to Russia and the 5th United States Secretary of the Treasury from February to October 1814. He died in 1848 and is buried at Nashville City Cemetery in Nashville, Tennessee. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.

Old Corsehill (Ravenscraig) Castle, Stewarton, Ayrshire
Corsehill Castle, sometimes erroneously called Ravenscraig Castle was first held by the De Ross family fro Dunlop Castle, later by the Cunninghame family linked to the Earl of Glencairn. A new Corsehill House was built to the east of the old castle and this was in turn abandoned when the Montgomery-Cunninghames moved to Doura Hall near Kilwinning. Francis Grose included the castle in his book of Scottish antiquities but the railway demolished most of it for use in a railway embankment they built nearby.

A short film capturing our family holiday at Kinloch Lodge. This film was shot in slog2 as a learning process. It was over exposed and was way before I understood the ISO characteristics of Sony's sLog. I have tried to denoise this film as much as possible. You can't win them all.

Trip to Craigievar Castle in Scotland
One of the castles buried along the countryside. It's amazing with so few visitors that they can earn enough money to maintain the place.

Keiss Castle
Keiss Castle is precariously situated on a cliff edge close to Wick in North Scotland. The North Sea has undermined this beautiful Castles foundation and the majority of the structure is now on the point of collapse. In the aerial video you can see the North side has already been claimed by the Sea and on the South side there is a substantial crack extending down through the building from the upper window. Unfortunately it's very likely that the Castle will be lost to future generations in our time.
