This is Morton Castle which I took on one of my castle hunts.
.
Built in the 13 century this fantastic ruins is located on a small hill beside an artificial loch and has a courtyard in the centre.
It lies 2.5 miles north-east of Thornhill in Dumfries /Galloway and is not far from Drumlanrig Castle Estate & Country Park.
The surrounding scenery and architectural remains makes this a must for any visitor.

Taken with a Pentax 35mm camera and later scanned with post op done on Picasa3 and DynamicPhoto HDR.

I live at Riddells Creek in the Macedon Ranges of Victoria, and have been involved in Horticulture all my life.
.
I play Blues Harmonica and Bodhran’ in my spare time, as well as getting involved with Genealogy and Medieval History,
I have also been acting for 40 years and was lucky to be cast as a judge in the movie “Stricly Ballroon”…
But my camera is my passion.
