A visit to this famous medieval castle is an essential part of any visit to central Scotland. It rivals even Edinburgh Castle for its sheer magnificence.

It’s back wall is part of the seventeenth century Derry Walls. Upstairs is said to be haunted by the ghost of a young girl. / If you look very closely you can see a bodhran (Irish drum) in the window. On the front of the bodhran is a picture of that famous Irish patriot, Che Guevara (he he). Canon EOS 450D, 18-55mm lens. Single image HDR.

Blackness is a village on the shore of the River Forth in Scotland. It lies within the council area of Falkirk, and the former county of West Lothian. The village originally served as a port for nearby Linlithgow (incidently, the town where I was born and grew up), with a harbour on Blackness Bay, an inlet of the Forth. As a port it was superdeded by Bo’ness, and fell into decline from the 17th century. The small village is today dominated by Blackness Castle, situated on a promontory overlooking the bay. Camera: Canon EOS 450D (Digital Rebel XSi in the USA) BEST VIEWED LARGER Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix. Related shots can be found at: Blackness or Lowland Scotland.
