In the Corner

Looking up at St Andrews Cathedral (well the remains of it anyway) just before some more snow swept in.

The abandoned Dyce Kirk in Aberdeenshire.

Window Pain

Castle Acre Priory in Norfolk, England.

Despite being faintly sickened by the grandeur of these ancient abbeys and priories etc. (how many people could you have fed with the money spent on construction?) , I can’t help but admire the craftmanship, and mourn the loss, which was caused by yet more greed.

Bolsover Castle

The empty, yet still beautiful, shell of Bolsover Castle in Nottinghamshire, England.

Castle Campbell

The beautiful and dramatic setting of Castle Campbell in Glen Dollar, Perthshire.

St Andrews Cathedral In Silhouette

Chris — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 23:02:53 +0000

St Andrews Cathedral, now a ruin on the edge of the famous golfing town in Scotland.

A Deep Well

Chris — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 00:01:17 +0000

The well at Castle Acre in Norfolk, England. Every castle had at least one well, and in times of siege would be the only source of water.

Castle Acre Priory Tower

Chris — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 23:58:52 +0000

Castle Acre Priory in Norfolk, England. The whole priory was built in Flint, before being covered in dressed stone.

Fountains Abbey

Chris — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 08:50:25 +0000

The ruins of Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire, England. Although I know how they built this, you still can’t help but wonder how they built so high, so long ago.

Arched Window

Arched windows in the ruined Elgin Cathedral. Taken on a sepia setting, 2007.
