Linlithgow Palace
James I ordered work on a palace to begin in 1424, following a fire that severely damaged the earlier residence. The elegant, new ‘pleasure palace’ became a welcome rest stop for royals on the busy road between Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle.
Mary, Queen of Scots, was born on 8th of December 1542 at Linlithgow Palace, to King James V and his French second wife, Mary of Guise. Mary was baptised at the nearby Church of St Michael shortly after she was born. On 14th December, six days after her birth, she became Queen of Scotland when her father died.
The palace fell quickly into decline when James VI (son of Mary) moved the royal court to London in 1603, following his coronation as James I of England.
The palace’s north quarter, which probably housed the queen’s apartment where Mary was born, fell to the ground in 1607. It was rebuilt around 1620, on the orders of James VI. The Duke of Cumberland’s army destroyed most of the palace buildings by burning in January 1746.

Bran Castle (Castelul Bran) is known worldwide to be the “Real Dracula’s Castle” and it is located in Romania where Vlad III The Impaler, voivode (military leader) of Wallachia, lived. Vlad III, during the war against Ottoman’s Empire, committed a long list of atrocities and for this reason he is referred as inspiration for the character of “Dracula”. Despite in the past Barn Castle has been reported as probable prison where Vlad III was locked down, due to lack of records most historians nowadays believe that Vlad never visited this exquisite building.

Look at this beauty!!!!. . Amazing photo taken by @sergejk87 . . . Turjak Castle, one of the most important castles in the former Duchy of Carniola, was first mentioned in historical sources in 1220. It was built by the knights von Auersperg. The appearance presented by Turjak Castle today is that of a Renaissance fortification of the 16th century, since the castle was rebuilt following an earthquake in 1511. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #gradturjak #turjak #igslovenia #velikelasce #outdoorljubljana #beautifulslovenia #sloveniaoutdoors #bestcastles #yourcastles @world_of_castles #castellinelmondo #renaissence #razgledislovenije #objevujslovinsko #castleswow #medievaltimes #monumentalworld #monumental_world #amazingcastle #ig_balkan #slovenija🇸🇮 #discover_slovenia_in_pictures #gradovislovenije #sloveniais4love #loveslovenia #feelslovenia #travelslovenia #castles_oftheworld @castleandchateau #turjakcastle #gradovi #luxuryslovenia https://www.instagram.com/p/CDi8LH1M8fX/?igshid=7nw9x8xzrxwa

#Repost by @peter.rajkai ・・・ Giant Erla and the Mermaid Once upon a time there was a Giant named Erla, who lived high in the mountains. One day Erla left his cave to enjoy the warming sunshine. He sat down at the shore of a small lake between the high tops of the mountains. Soon he noticed that he wasn’t alone! A beautiful, young mermaid with bright blond hair swam in the lake. The giant came to visit the mermaid every day and soon they fell in love with each other. As winter approached, both of them got very sad because they wouldn’t be able to see each other for a long time. So Erla worked out a plan, he gathered a lot of big rocks and threw them down from the top of the mountain into the lake. Soon an island had built up in the lake. There upon Erla built a beautiful little castle and called it "Schloss Ort". Thereafter the witch Kranawitha performed some magic in order to shrink Erla and transform the mermaid's fish tail into human legs, so that they could live together in the castle. A big wedding was held and for a long time they lived happily together. But after some years the mermaid became very sad, she missed her life underwater. So one day she disappeared in the depths of the lake. Erla was so sad about this, that he transformed back into a giant, left Schloss Ort and was never to be seen again! #schlossort #vienna_austria #visitaustria #enjoyaustria #ig_austria #loves_austria #igersaustria #discoveraustria #1000thingsinaustria #weloveaustria @weloveaustria_official #castlemypassion #castellinelmondo #amazingshots_castle #castlesofeurope #castlesoftheworld @castlespalaces @castles_and_palaces @castle.travellers #mobicastle #bestcastles #dronepals #DroneGlobe #dji_photos #amazingdroneposts #djiarsbudapest #folkgreen #folkscenery https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ-HtfRK7Bq/?utm_medium=tumblr

Midhope Castle, also known as Lallybroch, home of Jamie Fraser (Outlander).
The property was owned by the Martin family in 1478, and they had a castle here, but passed to the Livingstones soon afterwards. James Lindsay, Lord Lindsay, had a ratification of 1592 for the lands of Midhope, with the tower and fortalice thereof. Midhope belonged to the Drummonds of Midhope, who were in possession during part of the 16th and 17th centuries, and Alexander Drummond of Midhope remodelled the tower in 1587 and his initials with those of his wife Marjorie Bruce are on a former lintel now above a gateway. Alexander Drummond of Midhope is on record in the 1640s, then Sir Robert Drummond of Midhope in 1647 and 1661.
The property passed to the Livingstones in 1664, and the intials of George Livingstone, 3rd Earl of Linlithgow are on a lintel, then went to the Hopes in 1678 and they remodelled the building. In 1710 the place was described as ‘a fine towerhouse with excellent gardens, one of the seats of the Earls of Hopetoun’. Midhope Castle was used to house farm workers after the building of nearby Hopetoun House, and in 1851 53 people lived here, but it was later abandoned and is now semi-derelict, although the outside was consolidated in 1988. The castle lies on the extensive Hopetoun estate.

During my visit to Dover Castle, I captured many images of the castle, at least the parts that were open to the public. There is much to cover, so hopefully, I can share some images focusing on specific areas every week. Today's post is on St Mary in Castro. This Saxon church was built on Castle Hill in the 10th century. As it stands today, the church of St Mary is a much-restored example of a Saxon church dating from around 1000 AD. It is surrounded by a large late Saxon cemetery which implies that this church supersedes an earlier structure. In 597, St Augustine was sent by Pope Gregory I to England to convert the Saxons into Christianity. Augustine landed in eastern Kent and managed to convert Etherburt, who gave him land in Canterbury. Etherburt made Kent the dominant force in England during his reign; however, his son's ascension to the throne was viewed as a setback since he did not convert to Christianity for as many as eight years after becoming king. When he converted, the church insisted that he separate from his first wife, his stepmother. In 1000 AD, the church was reconstructed next to a Roman lighthouse that was later converted to a bell tower. . . #sonya7riv #2470gmaster #uk_shooters #littlepiecesofbritain #map_of_europe #ukmyworld #europestyle_uk #worldcaptures #shooters #capturingbritain #eclectic_shotz #moodygrams #stayandwander #YourBritain #bestcastles #britishcastles #StMaryinCastro #saxonchurch #britisharchitecture #kentengland #dover #whitecliffsofdover #kentcoast #englishhistory #englishchannel (at Dover Castle England U.K) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN1uBf1MDt1/?igshid=2azfcbw8cliu
