Eglinton Castle

I  hope that you are not too fed up with pictures of castles because I've got another one for you.

This is Eglinton Castle which is on the outskirts of a town called Kilwinning.

 It is set in the Eglington Country Estate which is lovely, there are some lovely  walks, gardens and swingparks for children. 

You may remember we visited there a couple of weeks ago but had to run back to the car because of heavy rain, I posted about it here. 

So since the weather was better we visited again with much more success. I used to visit here when the girls were little - that was quite a wee while ago. 

 Here are a few pictures of it. 

It looks as if it must have been a fantastic building.

The top of the tower was covered by birds but when I brought my camera out they all flew off, they can't have heard me 'cause it is quite a height up. Birds always do that to me when I take my camera out.

How is this for a set of windows.

A lovely place to visit - we will have to go back and do some more of the lovely walks and visit the gardens in the summer.
