Scotland – Ardvreck Castle

Ardvreck Castle was a MacLeod stronghold from 1597 until it was destroyed by the Seaforth MacKenzies in 1691. The castle is on the shore of Loch Assynt. The mountain called Quinag can be seen in the distance. The waters of the loch, the jagged remains of the castle, and the elegantly shaped mountain behind made a vivid impression. I saw some independence supporters wearing kilts and sporting t-shirts saying “Aye” flying the Scottish saltire through a ruined castle window as their friends took pictures from below.
