I am always so intrigued by doorways and rooms to which there is no access |
I am assuming these pieces of masonry are from the old chapel? |
This as well - it looks as though it was a cross. |
The blacksmiths. There was a large stable for horses, therefore a smithy was needed in the castle. |
The stables. |
The chapel. There was an earlier one - 13th century - a small portion of which was incorporated into this later one (16th or 17th century) |
A view of the castle grounds from inside the chapel (towards the smithy and the keep). |
These were on either side of the door just inside the chapel, |
and I found them quite interesting. |
A window in the chapel. I wonder what kind of glass it used to have. |
The enormous well. There is a metal gate around it now, and I'm not so sure it was there when I visited the castle in 2001. |
I believe this was in the kitchen. It looks rather nice, like a sort-of sink. |
That is amazing Mairi- what an great history. All your posts are great.
