Kilted visits round Inverness

[kennethrmc]

I'm fiiinallllly getting to posting pics from the trip Marsha (my wife) and I took to visit our family heritage places in May of this year.

Rait Castle is where my clan (MacIntosh) outwitted a Cumyns ambush in the 14th century, re-taking the castle and creating a haunting in the process. We looked for an hour to find this place--and succeeded.


Here's my lovely assistant at the same site. It was awesome to find the place still standing and lovely amidst a farmer's field.

And not too far away is Clava Cairns, haunting standing stones and tombs amidst an oak grove; very mystic.


And then a sad visit to Culloden and this marker, where so many of my brave ancestors gave their lives for nought.
