I recently went to Scotland and spent a day over there to a friends place. I didnt carry my original 20D and instead i had a canon powershot digital camera. So the pics didnt come out well as my 20D.
Here's a pic of the Urquhart Castle near the loch ness lake in Inverness in scotland.
Castle Urquhart stands on a rocky promontary on the north shore of Loch Ness. people were almost certainly here at least 4000 years ago. At nearby Corrimony is a burial cairn dating from about 2000 BC. However, although some evidence has been found of a fort on this promontory dating from the Iron Age, and also remains from Pictish times, earliest written records for the existence of a castle date from the 1200's.
In 1228 the people of Moray rose up against the authority of King Alexander II (1198 - 1249). By 1230 he had put down the revolt and, as conquerors often do, established his own loyal men in charge of estates in the area. He granted his son-in-law Alan Durward the lordship of Urquhart, and it is almost certain that the earliest parts of medieval castle date from his time....
