Cardoness Castle

Cardoness castle may be small, but it's bloody history stretches back years and generations. Was it a curse that that caused those that lived there to die in the most horrendous circumstances, or was it just down to good old greed and selfishness.

Cromarty & The Pirates Graveyard

While on our trip to Cromarty we managed to visit three different graveyards. The most famous being The Pirates Graveyard. Nicknamed so because of the large amount of gravestones carved with Skull and Crossbones. Although we where informed by a local that the graveyard was used to bury those who had died with the plague and there were even some accused witches there aswell. So right up my alley!
