Drum Castle has lots of them, from small, dark hidey-holes…
to castle windows and doors that reveal where you are.
On this day there was torture in the dungeon.
A knight in the medieval great hall:
A walk on the roof:
Soup by the old fireplace in the kitchen…
and unrelenting rain.
The perfect castle-y read or gift, THE MERMAID AND THE BEAR features:

a 16th century Scottish castle
6 chapters of medieval Christmas
a historical witchcraft panic
an ancient stone circle
and a love story.
Come taste the Twelfth Night Cake!

Sign up to the mailing list to peer through some more castle windows and doors with me!
It’s always such a treat to look at your posts 🙂
Thank you so much Terry 🙂
I’m a big fan of windows and doors. This post couldn’t be more perfect!
I love them too, magical little portals…
Exactly! Keep up the beautiful blogs.
I second Lynsey’s comment. Beautiful pictures!
Thank you 😀
Love it! Is any portion currently inhabited? By people, not ghosts?
Possibly by National Trust staff, not by the family…
What is it about doors and doorways and arches? Wherever I go, I notice them and usually try to take a picture of them. They’re magical. These are stunning.
Yes, I love them too 🙂
What fun – love the kitchen
So much to see, love it! Possibly because it’s a castle that the rain gives it more atmosphere!
