One of the most famous castles in the world.
Home of the clan MacCrae
It is situated in the western highlands commanding
a good location where the
three lochs meet.
Seen coming in from seaward.
It is located in the western highlands and was first built as a proper castle around 1220
to defend against the vikings.
In 1719 a contingent of Spanish troops were garrisoned there, they were going to
assist in a Jacobite uprising. The castle was attacked, captured and demolished by three
Royal Navy frigates.
it has appeared in quite a few films, Highlander, the world is not enough,
Sherlock Holmes, Secret Garden and dreamcatcher to name a few.
probably being the most recent.
To date this is one of our best paintings. It took my wife and I three weeks.
In a gallery you could pay £1,000 for such a piece. Not slagging galleries
it could sit for 6 months before the right person sees it and they have rates,
heating,wages & etc.
The only reason it is this price is because this international scene is new
to us and we still need to see if it is the way forward.
for anybody that appreciates fine art grab a bargain.
