Dalhousie Castle

Before you turn away from this page, I should say there may be better photos, linked below. Do see them all if you can. I am not actually entirely sure which one should have been my main entry for tonight.

We of Scotland were snowed upon last night. See the snow on the hills.

There was a dusting of snow all around the house to wake up to. I didn't let that stop me from going out on my wander . But there was more muddying of shoes involved. More than last night's stake out in the darkness. Today I could actually see what I was stepping in. It wasn't pretty.

The sun didn't show up but the moon did. I hung around until it got dark and shot the castle from other angles.

See the main entrance

With the town of Gorebridge in the background.

And almost at last light

Bonus points for spotting the moon.

It was cold and my hands were freezing. But home is just ten minutes away and while I've had to leave my shoes by the car outside, my toes and fingers have warmed up again.

If you like you can see the castle on Google Street View and explore the area.

Only 7:15 PM and I've blipped. Whatever am I going to do next? :))
