The Castle of Gloom













At the head of Dollar Glen, between the Burn of Sorrow and the Burn of Care, lies Castle Campbell, "the Castle of Glume", which is a beautiful 15th Century castle nestling on an outcrop beneath the Ochil ridge. Despite the misery of the names of the building and the surrounding streams, we had a lovely day walking up through the dank woody glen, and enjoying the stunning southward views from the tower.

...castles are so fascinating in their architecture and engineering...not as fascinating to live in I hear, though... :)
