The last touristy thing I did here in Scotland was to drop by
Duffus Castle, just north of Elgin. It's where my old pocket camera died last year *sniffles*. Not much to say, 'cept its a fairly handsome ruin and the short visit there was only partially interrupted by a family of fuckin' Krauts who insisted on making as much noise and wreak as much havoc on the ole' stones as humanly posssible. One of the young 'uns even tried climbing on the stone walls.
View from the parking lot. The keep was erected around 1305.
A great hall once stood here. This was a later addition.
A stone wall enclosed the keep and other buildings.
The inside.
Parts of the castle starting sliding due to subsidence and the site was abandoned in 1705.
