Lindisfarne Castle
The castle is located in what was once the very volatile border area between England and Scotland. Not only did the English and Scots fight, but the area was frequently attacked by Vikings. The castle was built in 1550, around the time that Lindisfarne Priory went out of use, and stones from the priory were used as building material. It is very small by the usual standards, and was more of a fort. The castle sits on the highest point of the island, a whin stone hill called Beblowe. It can be located in Northumberland,on Holy Island. England.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words on Lindisfarne. In regards to Mandy’s question “that is if I have read it right”, The work on the photo took approx 3/4hrs with photoshop. Its not everyone’s cup of tea, but for shot like this , which came out a shade darker than the rest photoshop seems ok.. Thank you once again.
