My good friend and Celt Ossian kindly let me take some photographs of him wearing a traditional plaid. We lived on the Isle of Mull together for nearly 5 years. The castle in the background is Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull, Scotland, where Ossian worked for a time . I decided to upload this image today in honour of being awarded Image of the Week by the group ‘The Scots are Coming’ .

See extra large view here Close of day at a misty Castle Moil. The present structure is of late 15th or early 16th century construction. This is supported by historical documents and carbon dating. In 1513, a meeting of chiefs was held here and they agreed to support Donald MacDonald as Lord of the Isles. The last occupant of the castle was Neill MacKinnon, nephew of 26th chief of the clan (c. 1601). The castle occupies a headland above the village of Kyleakin facing the village of Kyle of Lochalsh across the Sound. It is a simple rectangular keep of three stories. The unexplored basement level is filled with rubble and other debris and is believed to have contained the kitchen. The visitor today enters on the main level where the public dining space would have been. Stairs would have led up to the private apartments above. The castle is nearly completely ruined. In 1949 and 1989 parts of the ruins broke away in storms. The remaining ruins have been secured to prevent further deterioration. No excavation of the ruins has been carried out, or is planned.

This spectacular sixteenth century castle has been restored by the Menzies Clan Society. Seat of the Chiefs of Clan Menzies for over 400 years, it was involved in the turbulant history of the Highlands and here Bonnie Prince Charlie rested on his way to Culloden in 1746. Architecturally fascinating, it is a splendid example of the transition between earlier rugged fortress and later mansion house. Castle Menzies stands north of the River Tay at Weem on the B846, one and half miles from Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Sunday 21st December 08 in the middle of our winter. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: Highland Scotland.

Celtic Mandalas are mysterious and embedded with secrets and symbols, offering a unique way to connect with ancient spiritual and aesthetic realities. It was almost hypnotic, even revelatory as I played with this “Triskele” or Triskelion – consisting of three sacred spirals or ‘Trinity’ representative for me of the Sacred Feminine, or Maiden, Mother and Crone energies. Symbolic of the on-going cycle of birth, life and death for the Celts…a primordial power that inspired them to be treated as sacred motifs.

Another of the beautiful creatures that we encountered at the Olympic Game Farm, a Fallow Deer…AS IS photo ;) Among the Celts, the stag was an animal of Cernunnos, the hunting god Cocidius, and the hero Ossian. When connected with these deities, the stag symbolized the virility of the warrior, the Sun, and fertility. Deer were sacrificed as a substitute for the Horned God in goddess rituals. / In Celtic myth, a white doe or stag was often sent by the Otherworld deities to guide some human into their realm. The animal god Cernunnos wore an antlered headdress. The Irish goddess Flidais was associated with deer; they drew her chariot. Sometimes deer were called faery cattle and messengers. Stories tell of nymphs and faeries changing into fawns to escape capture. Woodland dreams of intuition come with the graceful deer. / I greet you, brothers of the forest. / Your gift of magick will brighten my life. / Transformation will come to me. / Like you, I stand listening to the drum beat of life, / Poised to follow my guiding spirits. DJ Conway White Stag of Scotland

Another view from previous published. See extra large view here The castle is thought to have been constructed around 1590 by the Clan MacLeod family who owned Assynt and the surrounding area from the 13th century onwards. Indeed Sutherland, the area in which Ardvreck is situated, has long been a stronghold of the clan MacLeod. The most well known historical tale concerning the castle is that on April 30th 1650 James Graham, the Marquis of Montrose, was captured and held at the castle before being transported to Edinburgh for trial and execution. Montrose was a Royalist, fighting on the side of Charles I against the Covenanters. Defeated at the Battle of Carbisdale, he sought sanctuary at Ardvreck with Neil MacLeod of Assynt. At the time, Neil was absent and it is said that his wife, Christine, tricked Montrose into the castle dungeon and sent for troops of the Covenanter Government. Montrose was taken to Edinburgh, where he was executed on 21 May 1650, using the traditional method for traitors: hanging, drawing and quartering. Ardvreck Castle was attacked and captured by the Clan MacKenzie in 1672, who took control of the Assynt lands. In 1726 they constructed a more modern manor house nearby, Calda House, which takes its name from the Calda burn beside which it stands. The house burned down under mysterious circumstances one night in 1737. The castle is said to be haunted by two ghosts, one a tall man dressed in grey who is supposed to be related to the betrayal of Montrose and may even be Montrose himself. The second ghost is that of a young girl. The story tells that the MacLeods procured the help of the Devil to build the castle and in return the daughter of one of the MacLeod chieftains was betrothed to him as payment. In despair of her situation, the girl threw herself from one of the towers and was killed. The nearby ruins of Calda house are also supposed to be haunted. The legend says that the Mackenzie family organised a family gathering there one Saturday and that the celebrations continued past midnight into the Sabbath day. At some point a fire broke out, possibly caused by a lightning strike, and all the inhabitants perished as the house burned to the ground. The causes of the fire are uncertain, but inhabitants of the Assynt area state that it was a manifestation of divine wrath as the family had been merry-making on the Lord’s Sabbath day. Indeed, stories are told that there was a survivor of the fire, a piper who was spared the flames because he refused to play the pipes past the midnight hour. A number of ghost sightings have been recorded around the area of the Calda ruins, including that of a ghostly woman who haunts the site itself. Strange lights have also been seen there at night, and several people have claimed that they have seen car headlights approach them on the road there at night, but after waiting for the vehicle to pass, no car has appeared.

A journey with Medicine Woman of the Arts / Winds blown in from Southwards chart Akin to the ways of all discovered and shared / through the ethers of cyberspace, sisters are paired Each morning our lotus grows in the mudrooms’ light / toasting dark roasted beans whilst Nature’s glory delights Destiny shares another wind spirit’s grateful soul / gathered in reverence to mark becoming one whole Playing with words unfolding similar life’s passion / Divinity guides in birds of a feather-like fashion Echoing childhood’s found in love’s radiant shine / Overcoming adversity so our power’s light is genuine Clan of Birds reunited in Tsalagi bloodlines lost / Two birds with one shared heart star-crossed… WindOwl 5/2009 This poem is an inspiration from our recent visit from Vickie/coppertrees who stayed with us at Wind River Ranch for two weeks, after communicating only through cyberspace and telephone for almost three years. I am so thankful to have been gifted with our meeting, sharing and kindred spirits’ uniting… DOHIYI ~ NIGHT BIRD Image of sketch photographed and edited in photoshop7 with saturation, painting, and fractilius filters utilized.

The name given to the macgregors…stripped o thier land,belongins and even thier name…..but thier race was royal and thier spirit wis not crushed… time for another wee poem We’re the children of the mist with no land to call home, / descended from kings but destined to roam. / We were honoured in battle then hunted like game, / but the proof of our mettle is we’re still proud of our name. They outlawed our clan and the mode of our dress, / but we never measured allegiance by chance of success. / Some things we’re not proud of were circumstance led, / but what prince not a rogue to see his children are fed? Our friendship was valued by high born and low, / our steadfast belief earned respect from our foe. / No great castles had we and our numbers were few / but our clansmen before us kept our legacy true. / canny mind who wrote it

“The splendour falls on castle walls / And snowy summits old in story: / The long light shakes across the lakes, / And the wild cataract leaps in glory: / Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, / Blow, bugle, answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying. O hark, O hear how thin and clear, / And thinner, clearer, farther going! / O sweet and far from cliff and scar / The horns of Elfland faintly blowing! / Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying: / Blow, bugle, answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying. O love, they die in yon rich sky, / They faint on hill or field or river: / Our echoes roll from soul to soul / And grow for ever and for ever. / Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, / And answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.” Lord Alfred Tennyson Canon 400D , Sigma 10-20mm + ND grad filters.F16 iso 100
