If you look closely, you'll see her looking back through the crenelations on top of the turret:



And here she is waving to me from one of the town gates:

Kilcoe Castle, Kilcoe, Co Cork. In spite of it's startling colour it's quite stunning. Oh, lucky people to be living here *sigh*








 
I love this thread - thanks for showing it to me.

We live near a few castles. Corgarff, Balmoral and Huntly are all pretty close.

But my favourite ruin is an empty house on the cliff of Portsoy. In a storm the waves crash through the old window. I can imagine the previous tenant sitting there and watching the waves, thinking "I really have to move" :)
