Castled out

Dear followers, we are down to four and the adventure continues!

After two hours driving, two hundred miles and more than three hundred steeps we are back in Dundee.

The first castle we visited was Stirling´s. We first went to the big garden, there we had lunch surrounded by Italian students!


 Inside the castle we had the change to dress up as a character of that time! In the main garden there were two women playing an old fashioned game of tennis like in  Wimbledon





After that we went to the William Wallace monument which was the inspiration behind the Lord of the Rings tower. To see the views on the top of the tower we had to go up 246 step. Once we got down were really dizzy because the stairs were spiral!
                                

As the good fans of Outlander and Game of Thrones that we are, we headed to the Doune castle where some of the scenes were filmed. For example Winterfell´s main room or the Mackenzie´s castle.
                              

After a long and tiring trip we moved towards Dundee again.
