Eilean Donan Castle, winter 2007
Romance depicting heroic or marvelous deeds, pageantry, romantic exploits etc Eilean Donan castle bathing in the early afternoon light _As one of the most iconic images of Scotland, Eilean Donan is recognised all around the world. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most important attractions in the Scottish highlands. Although first inhabited around the 6th century, the first fortified castle was built in the mid 13th century and stood guard over the lands of Kintail. Since then, at least four different versions of the castle have been built and re-built as the feudal history of Scotland unfolded through the centuries. Partially destroyed in a Jacobite uprising in 1719, Eilean Donan lay in ruins for the best part of 200 years until Lieutenant Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap bought the island in 1911 and proceeded to restore the castle to its former glory. After 20 years of toil and labour the castle was re-opened in 1932_ / http://www.eileandonancastle.com/

The oldest stone bridge in the Highlands of Scotland which was the first bridge allowing the river Dulnain to be crossed with dry feet was built in what is now Carrbridge, Inverness-shire, Scotland, between May and November 1717 by a mason called John Niccelsone. He did so at the behest of Brigadier-General Alexander Grant of Grant at a cost of £100. The main aim of the bridge was to ensure that funeral processions from the south did not have to be delayed reaching Duthil Church when the river was in spate and unfordable. The bridge was damaged by a great flood in 1829, leaving the present fragile looking archway.

Welcome to Scotland…..... This scene is the bridge over the River Tweed into Scotland and Coldstream, the first Border town. Just a bit more to tell you about this scene because som people may not realise just how fast this water is travelling. This is a seriously fast moving and deep stretch of water with a weir 50 meters the other side of the bridge. The river bottom is smooth pebble and theres usually a breeze blowing upstream too. This took days to get the shot I wanted with about 250 shots taken to produce just 2, however, the winter sun shone nicely for me all day. Enjoy.
One of the many old bridges over the Union Canal. This one is close to Old Philpstoun, West Lothian, Scotland. This 31.5 mile contour canal travels from The Falkirk Wheel to Edinburgh. Popular features of this gentle lock-free waterway include the Avon, Almond and Slateford Aqueducts, which are among the finest in Britain. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.

This is a shot of the walkway that takes you over to Gullane Point in East Lothian. There is a lovely calm area of water that is populated by a few swans. Just a mile down the road to the east is Gullane, home of 3 wonderful gold courses.
Loved the clean lines of this Bridge that built as part of the Milennium Cycleway project through the UK. The structure and form are just right for me.
The ancient packhorse Bridge over the dark peaty fast flowing River Dulnain is over 300 years old and is the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands of Scotland, it also gave it’s name to the village of Carrbridge where it is situated. An early morning image taken on a holiday to the Highlands that I was proud to call my home till I moved down to England after leaving school but a part of me will always remain in this beautiful area.

Reflections Before Sunrise Submitted for the Letter R in Alphabet Soup NEW Challenge for The Best of R Challenge The Forth Railway Bridge Queensferry Edinburgh Scotland: The 2.5 km. (1.5 mile) Forth Railway Bridge, the world’s first major steel bridge, with its gigantic girder spans of 521 m. (1710 ft.) ranks as one of the great feats of civilization. It was begun in 1883 and formally completed on 4 March 1890 when HRH Edward Prince of Wales tapped into place a ‘golden’ rivet. I love this old bridge because it brings back many wonderful memories of my childhood as we travelled across it on old trains to Burnt Island and Kinghorn for day trips. Nostalgic, I know, but I have a fascination with things that influenced my life. I was always struck by it’s sheer size and complex construction. I even tried to build it once from matchsticks and glue. I captured this picture on a cold and frosty morning in Nov 2008 when visiting my sick father in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. I’ll always remember the look on his face as I showed him this picture on my Nikon screen. He said, through his oxygen mask “WOW son, that’s brilliant!” Thanks dad!

Lt. General Wade’s Bridge at Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter. Designed by William Adam, Scotland’s best architect. The total cost was £3,596 or, in today’s terms, over £1m. ”... a freestone bridge over the Tay, of five arches, nearly 400ft. in length, the middle arch 60 feet wide, the starlings of oak and the piers and landbreasts founded on piles shod with iron….” (House of Commons Journal, 7th February 1734). The bridge was first opened to traffic at the end of October 1733. Wade regarded it the greatest of his considerable achievements in road-making. In 9 years he had personally supervised the construction of over 250 miles of military roads in the Highlands – the first engineered roads in Britain since Roman times. lt is now the only one of Wade’s 35 major bridges to remain in use as a public highway. Built for 18th century wheeled carriages, it survives to the 21st century as a great memorial to a great roadbuilding engineer. Wade’s Bridge is a Category A listed structure of historic importance (HB Number 20861) under the care of Historic Scotland. The River Tay, Scotland longest river, meanders across Scotland from Loch Tay before flowing out to sea at the Firth of Tay.
