The original castle was built sometime in the 14th century,but due to financial troubles the build was never completed….Building of the castle as it appears today commenced in 1610 and in 1626 the great tower was built….. There are stories of a `fiddler` who apparantly haunts the castle and his tunes can sometimes be heard by visitors to the castle…..Please enjoy

Very nice shot, Mick.

Love the lay of the land within frame, as it complements the (more or less) centered composition.

Nice one here Mick, I really like the lighting. The darkness surrounds the bright castle. Giving it a refuge in the dark look. Thanks for sharing this photo.

---There are stories of a `fiddler` who apparantly haunts the castle and his tunes can sometimes be heard by visitors to the castle---

Think it's more likely that it's the howling wind trough the never completed castle, Mick, lol.

Suppose that this castle was illuminated by flood-lights, else your postwork is great. Both are possible as well. Very fine capture!

Regards, Cornelius.

The master of lighting strikes again Mick. Beautiful timing and photography. Timing was not by accident, I am sure.

Such a picturesque castle and perfectly photographed by you with an air of timelessness and slight foreboding.
LOL I wonder if the Craigievar 'fiddler' was on the roof? Would account for him having fallen in the well - it is very steep.
Top notch !!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
