Elder B. at Dunnottar Castle, a ruined medieval fortress located on a rocky headland on the north-east coast of Scotland, about two miles south of Stonehaven. The surviving buildings are largely of the 15th - 16th centuries, but the site is believed to have been an early fortress of the Dark Ages.
Rapeseed (bright yellow flowering fields) are cultivated mainly for their oil-rich seed, the third largest source of vegetable oil in the world. SO many of these fields are in bloom right now both in Scotland and Ireland. Very beautiful!
His Majesty's Frigate UNICORN, has 46 guns, was built for the Royal Navy in Chatham dockyard and was launched in 1824. It was a fast and powerful warship and was one of the most successful and charismatic ship designs of the age. It is a unique survivor from the brief transitional period between the traditional wooden sailing ship and the revolutionary iron steamship and is now one of the SIX oldest ships left in the world. It is docked in Dundee, Scotland. (I love the mascot!)
The Rosslyn Chapel is a 1400's building. It is currently undergoing a 13 million pound conservation and site improvement project. The book and movie, "The Da Vinci Code" has made it even more famous!
There are definitely more sheep than people in Scotland. It's lambing season. Aren't they just so darn cute?!
