<p>Our Scotland travelogue would not be complete without a roundup of the castles we either visited or stumbled upon in our travels. On one hand, they’re fascinating - we don’t have any in the U.S. (at least not genuine old / native ones). They’re ancient, sit on a millenium of incredible stories, and are all in various states of Beautiful Decay. On the other, they’re touristy and it’s hard to find shots of them that don’t feel like cliche’d postcards. But overshot or not, they’re amazing for their age and ruggedness alone. Here are a few from our encounters with Rothiemurchus, Urquhart, Eilean Donan, Armadale, and Inverlochy.</p>
