This is a chromolithograph of Kilchurn Castle from around 1880, recently added to my collection of old prints.

None of the "modern" pictures were my photos, although the "side view" with people walking towards the camera was taken by my dad (one of those people is ME).

Kilchurn Castle was my FIRST - the one which grabbed me and led to me being what I am today, a total and utter castle nutcase.

I could see why, anyone would fall for a picturesque view like that!
