As I was browsing random videos on youtube, I came across this really cool view of Slains Castle taken by an amateur drone.
It reminds me Lisa is trying to make me read The Winter Sea, but I haven't read it yet

Re: Slains Castle
I think there are some nice pics of it on Susanna Kearsley's website too. Very evocative.

Re: Slains Castle
We keep meaning to go up there! It's only about 20 miles away, but it's coming into winter now. We just didn't have a nice enough day this year
Re: Slains Castle
It looks very cool, thanks to Fred for posting the video link. Nice to see drones getting used for a useful purpose, instead of endangering aircraft.
At home with a good book and the cat...

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

Re: Slains Castle
Ooh, fun! I've read the Winter Sea, wish I had this to look at. Maybe it's due for a re-read.
