Dirleton Castle in East Lothian. The image shows the bulky ruin of the castle built in honey-coloured stone, with the inclined access bridge on the right. The grass in the foreground is dappled by sunlight coming through a tree. The sky is blue.

Dirleton Castle in East Lothian, perched proudly on a rocky outcrop and as improbable as it is impressive. A castle was first built here in the late 1200s and it remained in active use until the mid-1600s. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Bought a monks robe & cape off ebay. Wrecked it with a wire brush. Using my old gothic gauntlets to go with scrap EVA foam made Witch King Helm as a test. I've also have gothic pauldrons in my attic that I will use for Halloween event on 18th October at the Dirleton Castle. #DirletonCastle
