The Third Day Of A New Tour of Scotland

Castle Campbell Scotland. The third day of my latest small group tour of Scotland. Another beautiful day in Scotland, still quite cold but sunny and clear for most of the day. Today we toured Castle Campbell, Stirling Castle and Fowlis Wester.


Castle Campbell, Scotland. Dramatically situated above Dollar Glen, is the forbidding-looking 15th century fortress, Castle Campbell. The castle was the lowland stronghold of the Campbell earls of Argyll who were seldom far from the major political and religious events of late medieval Scotland.
