Castle Fieldtrip

This was an awesome fieldtrip. I went with my castle class. We left at 9am and were back at 4:45 pm. We saw 4 castles, Ravenscraig Castle, Aberdour Castle (which my teacher says amazing in his British accent), Linlithgow Palace, and Duone Castle. My favorite one was a tie between Aberdour (the old part) and Duone, both were awesome for different reasons. I learned so much this day!!! And, I had a blast!
Ravenscraig Castle

This is the back of the Castle. From this view, it looks more domestic then military.

Picture taken from the Castle.


Castle from the back, my back is to the water.


This is what the Castle sits on. Every Castle needs to sit on a solid ground- foundation- or else it will slide and move.

Aberdour Castle, the crooked part in the middle of the picture, fell of the oldest part, in front of it, not pictured, during one of this Castle's two collapses.

They used to keep doves in here, to eat.


Me in a little nook. I stood in there and waited for my friend to come around the corner. She was a little scared to see me standing there.

The oldest part of the Castle. And, yes, that kid is wearing a clock. She wears one everyday.

Inside the beehive  looking thing where they kept the doves.

The Castle from the beehive thingy. The part to the left is the oldest part and the part to the right is the newest part. (with progression in-between).

Me going up what is left of some stairs.

The oldest part- the coolest part.

Linlithgow Palace. All of the King's honors above the entrance.

Walking up to the Palace from the town.
