In 1957 I went on a geology field trip from the University of St Andrews. The destination was the Isle of Raasay just across the water from Skye. Someone had a camera and this was one of the shots taken.
Here's how the castle looked in 2009,.in colour and from a different angle.
Congratulations and thanks to Carmi for his 250th prompt.

But it was only today that I realised there was a photo of a castle in rough shape.

This fifteenth century castle was occupied until the 1670s when the then Laird of Raasay died.

We never had such glorious weather in 1957. Perhaps that's why I'm more impressed by the castle's rough shape in black and white.
For more rough shapes cross over to Thematic-photographic-250.
Congratulations and thanks to Carmi for his 250th prompt.
