I thought this shot worked particularly well in Black and White.It is of course another shot of Buchanan Castle. Its such a shame photographs don’t have sound. The noise of the crows was amazing.
-
Heavy storm clouds started to surround the Castle making the whole scene alot more interesting for me.This is Buchanan Castle and can be found at Drymen, Stirlingshire. The Castle was a hospital during WW2 and Rudolph Hess was treated here after he parachuted into Scotland.

This lovely fairytale castle can be found just before Drymen, approximately a one hour drive from Glasgow. Rudolph Hess was treated here during WW2.The Castle served as a hospital at that time.

The burial place of the very popular Tom Weir. A Scottish hillwalker, author and broadcaster. Tom is buried here in the same plot and his famous Scottish actress sister Molly Weir. / Learn more about Tom by copy and pasting this link. / http://www.scotsindependent.org/brown/tom_weir.htm / An extract from the Scots Independent- / He was an inspiration to us all. He loved all aspects of our country, but particularly the hills, glens, lochs and wildlife of Scotland. Through his writing, television programmes, slide-shows and talks, he passed that love for and delight in Scotland to his fellows. He would finish his talks with a plea for an Independent Scotland in order to protect the future of the scenes he had shown and described. He was the best of Scots and represented all that is good in our Nation. He spread enlightenment and joy wherever he went and will live on in our memories.

Taken from Queens View car park on the road between Milngavie and Drymen. Named Queen’s View after Queen Victoria actually walked here during one of her many jaunts throughout Scotland. A snow capped Ben Lomond can be seen in the background.
-
Taken from Queen’s View car park, where there is a popular hill walk up to a natural feature called ‘The Whangie’. The Whangie is a huge gash in the rocks below Auchineden Hill and has been used by generations of rock-climbers as a training-ground. It has a hidden opening reached via a short clamber up some rocks. Inside The Whangie, a path meanders for some three hundred feet between sheer rock walls fifty feet high. The route climbs to the trig point on Auchineden Hill which provides fine views across to the Kilpatrick hills, Dumgoyne Hill, Loch Lomond, Ben Lomond and the Arrochar Alps.
