A spectacular castle that looks more like a French chateau that looks out over the North Sea from the coast of Caithness. I thought it looked quite good in sepia effect?

Dunrobin Castle, home to the Dukes of Sutherland, stands in a commanding postition overlooking the sea near Golspie in Sutherland, Scotland. The first Duke of Sutherland was much hated for being the instigator of the infamous Highland Clearances when poor crofters were forced out o f their homes to clear the land for sheep. Many of these people eventually migrated overseas to Canada, the USA and Australia.

It seems a strange name but this barn owl has been named Plop ! He’s a beautiful bird looked after at Dunrobin Castle falconry. / It’s not a brilliant shot as he was some distance away from me. / In the UK it is illegal to take wild birds of prey, their chicks or their eggs. Birds used for flying displays are normally those that have been injured or are unable to hunt their own food for whatever reason or have raised as chicks from parents not in the wild (maybe injured themselves). A licence is required for this.

It was cold, wet and miserable, the day I visited but I hadn’t come all the way from Australia just to be thwarted in my quest for a picture. There were 2 cars, 2 wheelie bins, 2 traffic bollards and a number of signs outside, and I hesitated as to whether it was even worth taking the camera into the rain. I was persuaded to do so by my kids and this image has been a labour of love ever since. I ain’t too hot at photoshopping so I hope this is worth it :-) Dunrobin Castle has been called home to the Earls and Dukes of Sutherland since the 13th century and was first mentioned as a stronghold of the family in 1401. The Earldom of Sutherland is one of the seven ancient earldoms of Scotland and the Sutherlands were one of the most powerful families in Britain with many important matrimonial and territorial alliances. “The Earldom of Sutherland was created in 1235 and a castle appears to have stood on this site since then, possibly on the site of an early medieval fort. The name Dun Robin means Robin’s Hill or Fort in Gaelic and may have come from Robert, the 6th Earl of Sutherland who died in 1427. The early castle was actually a fortified, square keep, with walls six feet thick and a vaulted ceiling, looking out from a cliff-top position. The keep stood isolated for some 200 years until a staircase and a high house were added. It was encased by a series of additions from the 16th century onwards. In 1785 a large extension was constructed. Remarkably this early keep still survives, much altered, within the complex of these later extensions, making Dunrobin one of the oldest inhabited houses in Scotland.”

Took this shot of Dunrobin Castle on our holiday, just got back a few hours ago. This is the largest family owned Castle in Scotland to the best of my knowledge. This shot was taken from the extensive gardens shortly after the Falconry display ended. /
