I hope that you are not too fed up with pictures of castles because I've got another one for you.
This is Eglinton Castle which is on the outskirts of a town called Kilwinning.
It is set in the Eglington Country Estate which is lovely, there are some lovely walks, gardens and swingparks for children.
You may remember we visited there a couple of weeks ago but had to run back to the car because of heavy rain, I posted about it here.
So since the weather was better we visited again with much more success. I used to visit here when the girls were little - that was quite a wee while ago.
Here are a few pictures of it.
It looks as if it must have been a fantastic building.
The top of the tower was covered by birds but when I brought my camera out they all flew off, they can't have heard me 'cause it is quite a height up. Birds always do that to me when I take my camera out.
How is this for a set of windows.
A lovely place to visit - we will have to go back and do some more of the lovely walks and visit the gardens in the summer.

it's so beautiful ellie, with the pretty blue sky and lovely green grass!!
you captured it well!!
I will never tire of your castle pictures. They take me away, to another place and another time. For that, I thank you.
Please don't ever stop posting pictures of castles! How cool! One of my students is currently working on a research paper about castles - I plan to show her your photos! Have a lovely day.
I would love to see this in person...I love all the work done in stone...they were such craftsmen.
Wow - another one of your posts that I'll be forwarding to my son! What a gorgeous place! Thanks for sharing your pictures of it.
I love old buildings, but old castles, that's much better. Great shots and love the windows. I've been playing catch up on your blog, great reading. Sorry I haven't stopped by much lately, but I'm working a lot of extra hours which makes it difficult to spend much time online. I loved the tulips, made me think of spring.
Thank you for sharing your photos. I love seeing photos of castles. Where I live I don't get to see things like this, so I really enjoy it.
Dearest Ellie,
Oh, Eglinton Castle.
I do wish to stroll marvelous castle like this living close to it♡♡♡
Spring time must be WONDERFUL!
Thanks for your lovely pictures♬♬♬
Blessing to you, xoxo Miyako*
I can only speak for myself, but, I will never tire of castle pictures! You have to remember we really don't have castles here in the States....I find them fascinating!
Great to have a place to walk like that. Your img6163: We have a wall like that, with the windows filled in centuries ago, at the bottom of our garden. If we owned the land behind, I would open some of those as it is great to have a view through to borrowed landscape.It is a bit formidable at times, but on the whole I love the old stone.
