Ardvreck Castle (my photo)
If you have ever visited Scotland it has more than it’s fair share of of ruined buildings from impressive castles like Ardvreck to humble crofters bothies.
Some of these have bloody tales of clan wars and revenge and some more forlorn with ‘the clearings’ and land grabbing that took place. Some are newer and tell the story of the change in the population’s habits and needs.
