Woody ready for another day of travelling this time back to Edinburgh ☺☺
I had looked up a couple of places that were used in the making of "Outlander" and this church was part of the witch trial
Some very old graves here
And lucky for us, someone had unlocked the church so we were allowed to take a couple of pics
The trial was filmed in here
Plenty of pics here showing from the show
We then drove along this narrow road to Drummond Castle
The exterior wall
The castle
and another side pic, but we did not go inside
Just a pic of the garden used in Series 2 as the garden of Versilles
Leaving that castle under its bridge
Off to this distillery which also was part of the series but down in the cellars
A lovely river Teith flowing past
And this is as far as I got, pic of a barrel
Anyway next stop was Doune Castle which in Outlander is Castle Leoch, the seat of Mackenzie Clan again did not go inside this one but loved seeing it for sure ♥
Then we traveled through Sterling and visited the Stirling Castle but only a few snaps as not enough time to do a proper tour around inside
Looking down to a grave site
Out the front area
It is big and having renovations done too
The entrance in......
But maybe we will be back for a good look ☺☺
Goodbye Stirling Castle
Then onto another castle.....this one is called Blackness Castle and in the series same name
This one was used as the base for Black Jack who was a hideous sadistic Captain
Paul enjoyed it here checking out all the dim dark places
and stairs, yes stairs.....by now I had to avoid as the front of my thighs were agony when climbing back down lol
I hung around in the courtyard
Isn't amazing what was made all those centuries ago
It is a 15th century fortress
Little spots to hide or be chained up
Good old spiral staircase which Paul managed to trot up and down
I ventured out onto the pier attached
Really quite a large castle once poking around inside
more spiral stairs
Neat solid gate locked each night
So end of this bit of fun and onto Edinburgh xoxoxo
i enjoyed your photos of scotland! Hope you had a memorable time.
